How to allow Windows Store apps and the Windows Store to pass the Windows Firewall

I use the Windows 8 firewall and I wanted it to be more secure, so I block incoming and outgoing connections. Unfortunately I realized that the Windows Store did not work as well and all applications from the store too. Then I checked the list of applications from where I can add exceptions, and I couldn't find anything that could be linked to the Windows Store (WSService). Could anyone help me create fast and simple exceptions for their proper functioning?
