36 Select the ”Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox to allow applications that are already signed by a valid certificate authority to be automatically added to the list of allowed applications, rather than prompting you to authorize them. For example, since iTunes is already signed by Apple, it will automatically be allowed to receive incoming connections through the firewall. Select the “Enable stealth mode” checkbox to prevent unauthorized or unexpected incoming probes from receiving a response from your Mac. Your computer will still answer requests coming in for authorized applications, but other unexpected requests, such as network pings from other computers attempting to discover your Mac, will not get a response. 3. Click OK when you’re done making changes to the advanced settings. You’ve configured the built-in firewall service and increased the security of incoming network connections. Virtual Private Network Virtual private network (VPN) access enables you to take advantage of network services while you’re offsite, and simultaneously prevents access by unauthorized individuals. OS X supports standards-based L2TP over IPSec, PPTP, and Cisco iPSec protocols to provide encrypted VPN connections with a built-in VPN client. In order to connect to a VPN, you’ll need to obtain the VPN server address, VPN type, VPN account name, and user authentication information from the network administrator. Set up a VPN connection: 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
2. Click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the network connection services list, and then choose VPN from the Interface pop-up menu. 3. Choose what kind of VPN connection you want to set up from the VPN Type pop-up menu and give the VPN service a name. 4. Enter the server address and the account name for the VPN connection. 37
