10.6.2.Firewall Profiles

The Firewall allows you to define specific security rules based on whether your

computer is located in a domain, or it is a standalone computer, or even a notebook.

Each of these options requires a different level of protection, and the levels are

covered by the respective profiles. In short, a Firewall profile is a specific

configuration of Firewall component, and you can use a number of such predefined

configurations.

Available profiles

 Allow all - a Firewall system profile that has been pre-set by the

manufacturer and is always present. When this profile is activated, all network

communication is allowed and no safety policy rules are applied, as if the

Firewall protection was switched off (i.e. all applications are allowed but

packets are still being checked - to completely disable any filtering you need

to disable Firewall). This system profile cannot be duplicated, deleted, and its

settings cannot be modified.

 Block all - a Firewall system profile that has been pre-set by the

manufacturer and is always present. When this profile is activated, all network

communication is blocked, and the computer is neither accessible from outer

networks, nor can communicate outside. This system profile cannot be

duplicated, deleted, and its settings cannot be modified.

 Custom profiles - profiles generated through the Firewall Configuration

Wizard. The maximum of three custom profiles can be generated through the

Wizard:

Standalone computer – suitable for common desktop home computers

connected directly to the Internet.

Computer in domain – suitable for computers in a local network, e.g.

school or corporate network. It is assumed that the network is protected

by some additional measures so that the security level can be lower than

for a standalone computer.
