Included are embodiments for port enablement. One embodiment of a method includes inserting a streams module in a kernel space of a host device, the streams module being coupled to a stream head, the streams module coupled to a transmission control protocol (TCP) module and receiving a bind request on a socket, the bind request associated with an application. Embodiments also include determining a process name associated with the received bind request, determining, based on the determined process name, a meta-configuration rule for a firewall configuration of the application and utilizing the determined meta-configuration rule for the firewall configuration of the application.
