Item	Description
Connection Type	Select the environment where a client computer is used:
	„ Untrusted network: The computer connects to a network that
	might not be secure, such as an airport or hotel network. The
	firewall protection service should block communications from IP
	addresses on that network.
	„ Trusted network: The computer connects to a network that is
	protected from the Internet by a hardware firewall or router. The
	firewall protection service should allow communications from IP
	addresses on the same subnet.
	„ Custom settings: The computer should communicate only with
	specified ports and IP addresses. Click Edit to configure the
	settings.
Allowed Internet Applications	Lists previously detected Internet applications that you have
	approved to run on computers using this policy. If you have not
	specified any allowed applications, no list appears here.
	Only Internet applications that you know are safe should appear
	here.
Detected Applications	Select an application that you want to approve from the list. The list
	shows all the Internet applications detected on client computers by
	the firewall protection service.
Add Application	Click to allow the specified application on computers using this
	policy. Once it is added, it appears in the list on this tab.
remove	Click to delete the application from the list. If this application
	attempts to contact the Internet in the future, it is treated as a new
	detection on computers using this policy. At that time, the firewall
	protection service responds according to the Firewall Protection
	Mode selected.
Save	Click to update the policy and return to the Groups + Policies page.
Cancel	Click to return to the Groups + Policies page without changing the
	policy.
Reset to Defaults	Click to assign the original SonicWALL Default policy settings to
	this policy.
	Note: This resets all settings on all tabs. Settings will not take effect
	until you click Save.

Firewall Custom Settings

Use this page to define custom settings for the environment where client computers operate. Custom settings are typically recommended when computers using this policy meet one of these criteria:

„They should allow communications from system services only through specific ports or from a specific range of IP addresses.

„They function as servers that provide system services.

Custom settings specify:

„Which system service ports client computers are allowed to communication through.

„Which IP addresses client computers are allowed to accept communications from.

Changes you make to custom settings do not take effect until you click Save on the Desktop Firewall tab.
