Remote Address. Specify the remote IP address and port the rule applies to as
follows:
To filter traffic between your computer and a specific computer, clear the Any
check box and type its IP address.
If you have selected TCP or UDP as protocol you can set a specific port or a
range between 0 and 65535. If you want the rule to apply to all ports, select
Any.
Apply this rule only to directly connected computers. Select this option
when you want the rule to apply only to the local traffic attempts.
Check process parent chain for the original event. You can only modify
this parameter if you have selected Strict automatic rules (go to the Settings
tab and click Advanced Settings). Strict rules mean that Acronis Internet Security
prompts you for action when an application request network/Internet access every
time the parent process is different.
16.2.4. Advanced Rule Management
If you need to see and edit the rules controlling applications in detail, click the
Advanced button available when configuring the firewall in Expert View.
You can see the firewall rules listed by the order they are checked in. The table
columns provide comprehensive information about each rule.
Note
When a connection attempt is made (whether incoming or outgoing), Acronis Internet
Security applies the action of the first rule matching the respective connection.
Therefore, the order by which rules are checked is very important.
To delete a rule, select it and click the Delete Rule button.
To edit an existing rule, select it and click the Edit Rule button or double-click it.
You can increase or decrease the priority of a rule. Click the
Move Up In List
button to increase the priority of the selected rule by one level, or click the Move
Down In List button to decrease the priority of the selected rule by one level. To
assign a rule the highest priority, click the Move First button. To assign a rule
the lowest priority, click the Move Last button.
Click Close to close the window.
16.2.5. Deleting and Reseting Rules
