o
Small home or office network – suitable for computers in a small
network, e.g. at home or in a small business, typically only several
computers connected together, without a "central" administrator.

Computer on the move – suitable for notebooks. It is supposed that, as
a handheld travel computer, it connects to the Internet from various

Profile switching
The profile switching feature allows the Firewall to switch automatically to the
defined profile when using a certain network adapter, or when connected to a certain
type of network. If no profile has been assigned to a network area yet, then upon
next connection to that area, the Firewall will display a dialog asking you to assign a
profile.
You can assign profiles to all local network interfaces or areas and specify further
settings in the Areas and Adapters Profiles dialog, where you can also disable the
feature if you do not wish to use it (then, for any kind of connection, the default
profile will be used).
Typically, users who have a notebook and use various types of connection will find
this feature useful. If you have a desktop computer, and only ever use one type of
connection (e.g. cable connection to the Internet), you do not have to bother with
profile switching as most likely you will never use it.
