Select a security level
The Firewall has four security levels: Paranoid (most restrictive),
Nervous, Cautious, and Trusting (least restrictive).
Change the security level
By default, the security level is set to Cautious, which prevents many
common Internet attacks while still letting you use most Internet programs.
To change the security level:
1
Double-click the ISS icon to open ISS.
Security Level Description
Paranoid
Blocks all inbound intrusions and restricts some
Web browsing and interactive content.
Nervous
Restricts some interactive content on Web sites.
Does not affect streaming media and other
application-specific Internet usage.
Cautious (default) Blocks some inbound intrusions and does not
interfere with normal Internet usage. This setting
is best for regular use of the Internet.
Trusting
Blocks file sharing over the Internet. Internet file
sharing allows the user to share files on their disk
with others across the Internet. Blocking Internet
file sharing ensures that hackers cannot
download files to your computer. Does not affect
file sharing on your AnyPoint network, even
though Internet file sharing is disabled.
Note: When you click on the ISS server icon and select the
Firewall tab, the
Status and More Information buttons appear.
Status tells you if the Firewall is running. The More Information
button provides details about your Firewall.
