10.4. Advanced settings
Any editing within the Advanced settings dialog is intended for EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY!
The Advanced settings dialog allows you to opt in/out for the following Firewall parameters:
Allow any traffic from/to virtual machines supported by firewall - support for network connection
in virtual machines such as VMware.
Allow any traffic to virtual private networks (VPN) - support for VPN connections (used to connect
to remote computers).
Log unknown incoming/outgoing traffic - all communication attempts (in/out) by unknown
applications will be recorded in the Firewall log.
Disable rule verification for all application rules - Firewall continuously monitors all files covered
by each application rule. When a modification of the binary file occurs, Firewall will once more try to
confirm the application's credibility by standard means, i.e. by verifying its certificate, looking it up in
the database of trusted applications, etc. If the application cannot be considered safe, Firewall will
further threat the application based on the selected mode:
o if Firewall runs in the Automatic mode, the application will be allowed, by default;
o if Firewall runs in the Interactive mode, the application will be blocked, and an ask dialog will
appear requesting the user to decide on how the application should be treated.
The desired procedure on how to treat a specific application can be of course defined for each
application separately within the Applications dialog.
