Configure Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall using the quick method.
Click the Network Security link near the left hand side of the page.
On this page you will see a table of programs that are installed on your computer. Each row of this table will show the description for a program and that programs coresponding access rights. The access rights for a particular program determine how data sent to or from that program will be handled. If the access right is set to deny, the data will be discared. If the access right is set to prompt, you will be asked if you want to allow or deny that data from being sent or received. If the access right is set to permit, the data will automatically be allowed to or sent from that program. You will also see that the access rights are divided into two sections. They are devided into a Trusted and an Internet section. The Trusted section allows you to modify the access rights to or from certain ip addresses that exist in your Trusted Area's ip list. We are not going to be using that list. The Internet section refers to access rights in general, and applies to any ip address on the internet. Go ahead and find the program you want to allow traffic to and from in the Description list. Then change the Internet section's access rights to permit or ask. You would change it to permit, if you always want to allow the data to and from this program. You would change it to ask if you wanted the firewall to prompt you before allowing that data in or out of your computer. If you do not see the program you want to change access rights for in the list, then look for Any Other Application in that list. Change the Internet section's access rights for Any Other Application to ask. Now when you try to run your program, you will be asked to allow you deny that traffic out of your network. That will be true for any program that you try to run that does not have specific access rights set for it. When you are done with those changes click the Apply button. |
