How To Creating new rules

When installing a new application which accesses the network, or if there was a modification to an existing connection (remote side, port number, etc.), a new rule must be created.

To add a new rule, click on the New button in the Zone and rule setup window. Clicking on this button opens a new dialog window which allows the specification of a new rule. The upper part of the window contains three tabs: General, Local side and Remote side.

A good example of adding a new rule is allowing your Internet browser to access the network. The following must be provided in this case:

On the General tab, enable outgoing communication via the TCP & UDP protocol
Add the process representing your browser application (for Internet Explorer it is iexplore.exe) on the Local tab
On the Remote tab, enable port number 80 if you wish to allow standard World Wide Web services only
