This article covers how to add the LeadDesk application components to your computer's Windows Firewall. 

You can do this so that you're able to use the following (or if you run into trouble with them):

  1. VoIP Remote listener,
  2. Uploading recordings,
  3. Using your speakers to play the incoming ringtone,
  4. Allowing 3rd party VoIP to call out.
  1. Open the Windows start menu,
  2. Search for "Allow an app through Windows Firewall",
  3. Open up the suggested application.
