Rules
For normal operation and LAN protection, it is not necessary to use this screen.
The Firewall will always block DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the service is unavailable.
As well, you can use this screen to create Firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. But incorrect configuration may cause serious problems.
This feature is for advanced administrators only!
Rules Screen
Click the Rules option on the Firewall menu to see a screen like the following example. This example contains two (2) rules for outgoing traffic.
