16.1.2. Configuring Advanced Firewall Settings
In Expert View, you can configure the advanced firewall settings by clicking
Advanced Settings.
The following options are available:
Enable Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) support - enables support for
Internet Connection Sharing(ICS).
Note
This option does not automatically enable ICS on your system, but only allows this
type of connection in case you enable it from your operating system.
Detect applications that changed since the firewall rule has been created
- checks each application attempting to connect to the Internet to see if it has
been changed since the rule controlling its access was added. If the application
has been changed, an alert will prompt you to allow or to block the access of the
application to the Internet.
Note
Applications might be changed by malware. We recommend you to keep this option
selected and to allow access only to those applications that you expect to have
changed after the rule controlling their access was created.
Signed applications are supposed to be trusted and have a higher degree of
security. You can check Don't detect changes in digitally signed applications
in order to allow changed signed applications to connect to the Internet without
your receiving an alert about this event.
