4Select one of the following. Unless you have the necessary expertise and need to setup a custom firewall, use High, Medium, or Low:

High Safest configuration, highest security. We recommend this setting. Medium Common configuration, modest risk

Low Minimum security, higher risk

Custom You can create a custom firewall policy on the Firewall > POLICY — advanced Page (see page 39). Do

not create a custom policy unless you have the necessary expertise and the need to do so.
