Thread: Creating Firewall Rules

kJlI Click on Tasks and Settings and then on Change Advanced Set t ings > Firewall Protection Settings. Here you'll see two tabs-Firewall General Rules and Firewall Program Rules. Firewall General Rules contains simple rules sets for the entire system, not for any particular program. The Firewall Program Rules screen lets you add your own rules for a program.

All the programs using the Internet and the network will be displayed. Click on the drop-down next to the program and choose from the type of access you want to assign. If you choose Custom, a set of rules will be displayed from which you can choose. Click Add to add a new rule of your own. Follow the steps in the Wizard and the new rule will be created. You can create many rules for a single program in the same manner.
