The panel.ini file controls the advanced configuration options of the Plesk panel. Find it at the following path on your Windows server:

%plesk_dir%admin\conf\panel.ini

Connect via Remote Desktop (RDP) to the server to edit the file, or use the official Plesk extension Panel.ini Editor from the web panel itself.

Add the configuration code


Open the panel.ini file with a text editor (Notepad or similar) and add the following lines at the end of the file:

[ext-flex-firewall-manager]\nExportImportRule=true;

Important: Make sure to add the [ext-flex-firewall-manager] block only once. If that section already exists in the file, simply add the line ExportImportRule=true; inside it.
