IP blocked
If the option is activated, you will receive a desktop notification if the Firewall has
denied, i.e. blocked, data traffic from an IP address.
Application rules
The application rules options are used to set the configuration options for application
rules in the Firewall::Application rules section.
Advanced options
If this option is enabled, you can regulate different network accesses of an application on
an individual basis.
Basic settings
If this option is enabled, only one action can be set for different network accesses of the
application.
Preferred mode
Users who are not administrators can change authorizations for applications
If the option is enabled, all users can change application rules or create new ones. If this
option is disabled, only users with administrator rights can change application rules or
create new ones. Application rules are displayed in the configuration under
Firewall::Application rules, where they can be changed or added. Application rules can be
chnaged in the Control Center under Online protection::Firewall and in the Network
event window.
12.4.5 Popup settings
Popup settings
Inspect process launch stack
If this option is enabled, the process stack inspection allows a more accurate control. The
Firewall will assume that any of the untrustworthy processes in the stack may actually be
the one accessing the network through its child process. Therefore a different popup
window will be opened for each untrustworthy process in the process stack. This option
is disabled as the default setting.
Allow multiple popups per process
If this option is enabled, every time an application is making a network connection, a
popup is triggered. Alternatively you will be informed only on the first connection
attempt. This option is disabled as the default setting.
Automatically disable popup notification in gaming mode
When this option is active, Avira Firewall gaming mode is automatically activated when
an application is executed in full-screen mode on your computer system. In gaming
mode, all defined adapter and application rules apply. Applications for which no rules are
defined with the Allow or Deny actions are temporarily allowed to access the network, so
that no popup windows appear with questions about the network event.
Remember the action for this application
