User`s guide

▶ To filter traffic between your computer and a specific computer, clear the Any
check box and type its IP address.
▶ If you have selected TCP or UDP as protocol you can set a specific port or a
range between 0 and 65535. If you want the rule to apply to all ports, select
Any.
● Apply this rule only to directly connected computers. Select this option
when you want the rule to apply only to the local traffic attempts.
● Check process parent chain for the original event. You can only modify
this parameter if you have selected Strict automatic rules (go to the Settings
tab and click Advanced Settings). Strict rules mean that Acronis Backup and
Security 2010 prompts you for action when an application request network/Internet
access everytime the parent process is different.
21.3.4. Advanced Rule Management
If you need advanced control over the firewall rules, click Advanced. A new window
will appear.
Advanced Rule Management
You can see the firewall rules listed by the order they are checked in. The table
columns provide comprehensive information about each rule.
Note
When a connection attempt is made (whether incoming or outgoing), Acronis Backup
and Security 2010 applies the action of the first rule matching the respective
connection. Therefore, the order by which rules are checked is very important.
