11.6.3. Applications
The Applications information dialog lists all installed applications that might need to communicate
over the network and icons for the assigned action:
The applications in the List of applications are those detected on your computer (and assigned
respective actions). The following action types can be used:
- allow communication for all networks
- allow communication for networks defined as Safe only
- block communication
- display ask dialog (user will be able to decide whether they want to allow or block the
communication when the application attempts to communicate over the network)
- advanced settings defined
Please note that only applications already installed could be detected, so if you install a new
application later, you will have to define Firewall rules for it. By default, when the new
application tries to connect over the network for the first time, the Firewall will either create a
rule for it automatically according to the Trusted Database, or ask you whether you wish to
allow or block the communication. In the latter case, you will be able to save your answer as
a permanent rule (which will be then listed in this dialog).
Of course, you can also define rules for the new application immediately – in this dialog, press Add
and fill in the application's details.
