Firewall - Friends

Manage these settings at: Menu ▸ Tools ▸ Firewall ▸ Settings ▸ Friends

You can define "Friends" networks which represent a low security risk. For example, you can allow friends/family members access to your home network while blocking access for other networks. Networks listed here are referenced in Application rules and Policies when the access permission is limited to friend networks.

Friends settings are applied only in Private mode. When your firewall is in Public mode, default restrictions apply to all networks including Friends.

The application rules and policies can be managed from the links at the bottom of the screen in Tools ▸ Firewall.
