How to unlock port 80 of Windows 8 Firewall? [closed]

1

I'm using WAMP to run a local server and sometimes I want to show my projects to friends, I've already set up port 80 on the router with my IPv4 and everything. When I do the port tests on some website it says that the port is open but with blocking, and when it turns off the Firewall works normal, but I will not leave the Firewall disabled.

Using Windows 8
