Set up allowed Internet applications
The firewall protection service monitors communications with Internet applications, which
connect to the Internet and communicate with client computers. When it detects an Internet
application running on a computer, it allows the application to connect to the Internet or blocks
the connection. Its response is based on these factors in this order:
1 A policy-specific list of allowed Internet applications created by the administrator. The
administrator creates this list as part of a policy, then assigns the policy to groups of
computers (see
Specify Internet applications in a policy).
When using a computer in multiple locations, you might want to specify more than one range
of IP addresses. For example, you might want one IP address range for office use and another
for home use. To specify multiple address ranges, repeat step 4, enter another address range,
then click
Add again.
