To whitelist a script for internet access, you can create a rule in the Windows Firewall to allow outbound internet access for that specific script. Here's a step-by-step guide to do this:

  1. Determine the Path to Your Script:
    Note down the full path to your script. For example, if your script is located at C:\path\to\your\script.py, make sure to have the path handy.

  2. Open Windows Defender Firewall:
    Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type wf.msc, and click "OK."

  3. Create a New Outbound Rule:
    In the Windows Defender Firewall window, click on "Outbound Rules" in the left pane, and then click on "New Rule..." in the right pane.

  4. Select Rule Type:
    In the "New Outbound Rule Wizard," choose "Custom" and click "Next."

  5. Program Path:
    Select "This program path:" and browse to the path of your script (e.g., C:\path\to\your\script.py). Click "Next."

  6. Action:
    Choose "Allow the connection" and click "Next."

  7. Profile:
    Select the appropriate profiles for your needs (e.g., "Domain," "Private," "Public"). Click "Next."

  8. Name and Description:
    Provide a name and description for the rule (e.g., "Allow Internet Access for MyScript"). Click "Finish."

Now, your script should be whitelisted for internet access, and it should be able to access the internet without any issues. Keep in mind that this rule allows the script to have outbound internet access but doesn't affect inbound access (i.e., other computers cannot directly access your script). Also, make sure to consider the security implications of allowing internet access to a script, as it may introduce potential risks if the script is not properly secured.
