12.5.3 Application list
You can use the application list to create rules specifying how applications access
networks. You can add applications to lists and set the Allow and Block rules for the
selected application using a context menu:
– Access to networks by applications with the Allow rule is permitted.
– Access to networks by applications with the Block rule is denied.
When applications are added, the Allow rule is set. All applications that are added are
uniquely identified using the MD5 checksum. If an application changes following an
update, for example, the application with the rule in question is automatically removed
from the application list. Following a change, the application must be added to the list
again and the desired rule reapplied.
Application list
This table shows the list of applications for which rules are defined. The symbols indicate
whether network access by the applications is allowed or denied. The rules for the
applications can be changed using a context menu.
