FIREWALL
The Firewall ensures security for your work in local networks and on the Internet.
The component filters the entire network activity according to the network rules of Security Zone. Network rule is an
action that Firewall performs when it detects a connection attempt that has a specified status. Status is assigned to each
network connection; it is defined by specified settings: data transfer direction and protocol, addresses and ports to which
the connection is established.
The Firewall analyzes the settings of the networks to which you connect your computer. If the application works in
interactive mode, the Firewall, when first connected, will request that you specify a status of the connected network. If
interactive mode is off, the Firewall defines the status based on the network type, ranges of addresses and other
specifications. You can change the status of the network connection manually.
In Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for File Server, the Firewall is disabled by default.
