12.1.1. Configuring Filters
Filtration system is a Firewall module that protects your computer while on the
Internet. This module filters inbound and outbound traffic on the network/packet
and application levels. Traffic is filtered using an updateable database of "allow"
and "block" rules. To make configuring and applying rules easier, all network
space is divided into security zones depending on the degree of risk they pose.
The following settings may be configured for the filtering system:
• Level of protection from network attacks (cf. Section 12.1.1.1, p. 142)
• Application rules (cf. Section 12.1.1.2, p. 143)
• Packet filtering rules (cf. Section 12.1.1.3, p. 147)
• Rules for security zones (cf. Section 12.1.1.6, p. 152)
• Firewall mode (cf. Section 12.1.1.7, p. 155)
