Appendix C

Advanced Firewall Settings
Overview
Introduction You can use the Advanced Firewall Settings window to block intruders or ports or to
configure Desktop Protector to dynamically switch protection levels.
●When you block an intruder, RealSecure Desktop Protector creates an IP address entry
in your firewall that prevents all traffic from that IP address from entering your
system.
●When you block a port, Desktop Protector creates a port entry in your firewall that
prevents any traffic from entering through that port.
●When you set up adaptive protection, Desktop Protector automatically switches
protection levels according to the risks associated with the network environment you
are in.
