Enable the desktop firewall
To enable the full-featured desktop firewall:
1. From the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Connection Monitor, select Configuration > Firewall Settings.
The firewall is disabled by default.
2. When you enable the firewall, you must choose between two firewall modes:
o Basic Locked Settings - When you enable this mode, the firewall denies all connections to or
from your computer unless you have created a rule to specifically allow the connection.
o Basic Open Settings - When you enable this mode, the firewall allows all connections unless
you have created a rule to specifically deny the connection.
3. Click OK.
After you have enabled the desktop firewall, you can configure your firewall settings.
