Specified application rules in the advanced configuration
Using the specified application rules, you can allow or deny specified data traffic for the
application or you can allow or deny passive listening to individual ports. The following
options are available:
Allow/ Deny Code injection
Code injection is a technique for introducing code into the address space of another
process to execute actions, forcing this process to load a dynamic link library (DLL).
Code injection is used by malware, amongst other things, to execute code under cover
of another program. In this way, access to the Internet in front of the FireWall can be
hidden. In default mode, code injection is enabled for all signed applications.
Allow/ Deny passive listening to the application of ports
Allow/ Deny Traffic
Allow or deny incoming and/or outgoing IP packets
Allow or deny incoming and/or outgoing TCP packets
Allow or deny incoming and/or outgoing UDP packets
You can create as many application rules as you like for each application. The application
rules are executed in the sequence shown (You will find more information under Advanced
application rules).
Note
If you switch from Advanced to Basic filtering of an application rule, the already
existing application rules in the advanced configuration are simply deactivated,
not irretrievably deleted. When you select Advanced filtering again, the existing
advanced application rules will be reactivated and displayed in the Application
rules configuration window.
