6. Point to the NetBird installation exe file (usually in `C:\Program Files\NetBird\netbird.exe`) and click "Next".
7. Select "Allow the connection" and click "Next".
8. Select the network in which rule should be applied (Domain, Private, Public) according to your needs and click "Next".
9. Provide rule name (e.g. "Netbird Egress Traffic") and click "Finish".
10. Disconnect and connect to NetBird.
