FWP_E_ACTION_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_LAYER

FWP_E_ACTION_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_LAYER means the action requested by a filter cannot be used at the selected filtering layer. WFP layers represent different points in packet and connection processing, and each has a supported action model.

What to verify

  • Choose the layer based on the decision being made: connection authorization, packet inspection, transport, stream, or another documented point.
  • Confirm that the action type is supported at that layer before adding the filter.
  • Do not move a filter to a nearby layer without checking whether the required fields and semantics still apply.
