Firewall settings

The firewall settings window lets you configure the user and factory rules, and specify preventative measures against certain types of intrusions.

You can also configure the firewall through the pop-up messages displayed by when there is an attempt to connect to or from the Internet.

When these messages appear, read them carefully so you know which program is trying to make a connection. If it is a trusted program, the connection should be allowed.

If you have any doubts about the program, it is advisable not to allow the connection. In any case, remember that you can change the permissions assigned to a program through these pop-up warnings at any time, by changing them in the firewall settings.

Remember that you can only enable, disable and configure the firewall provided you have the appropriate permissions to do so. If the firewall is being managed by an administrator, it will be the administrator who enables, disables and configures the firewall protection for your computer.
