7. Firewall Configuration Wizard
Firewall Configuration Wizard launches automatically right after the AVG 8.5
Anti-Virus plus Firewall installation. Though you can configure the component’s
parameters later on, it is recommended that you take the wizard’s tour to ensure the
Firewall works properly.
Firewall Configuration Wizard can also be called directly from the Firewall
interface by pressing the Configuration wizard button.
7.1. Network Connection Options
In this dialog, the Firewall Configuration Wizard asks how your computer is
connected to the Internet. For instance, your notebook, that connects to the Internet
from many different locations (airports, hotel rooms, etc.) requires security rules that
are stricter than those of a computer in a domain (company network, etc.). Based on
the selected connection type the Firewall default rules will be defined with a different
security level.
You have three options to select from:
 Standalone computer
 Computer in domain (company network)
 Computer on the move (typically a notebook)
