122 Barracuda NG Personal Firewall
9.9.2 Automatic Rule Configuration
If Ask for unknown outgoing/incoming connections has been activated in the Firewall Settings view
(9.9 Administration - Firewall Settings Wizard, page 120), an unknown application/service requesting
network connection will trigger a Security Alert pop-up window requesting authorisation.
The following information is included in the Security Alert window:
• Select the Remember this answer checkbox (default: selected) to allow or deny a
connection request permanently. Selecting the checkbox automatically
creates a corresponding rule in the Configuration area of the Barracuda NG
Personal Firewall, including required Network, Service, Application and User
Objects (9.8 Configuration, page 103). If cleared, the connection request is
granted temporarily for this one specific connection request only.
