Not sure why Windows Firewall isn't turned on by default?
You are most welcome.

I'm not sure either as to why the firewall isn't implemented as default on a new VPS Hosting, or server for that matter. When I've done personal Windows Server installs in the past, I have noticed myself that the firewall wasn't enabled by default - I suppose it must be the same with any new Windows Server install.

If you need any more help then please don't hesitate to post here, at the end of the day we're all here to help.
