Application level filtering helps you to control access of various applications and processes to network resources as well as enable or disable applications to run other processes. You can create rules for both system and user applications.
This page lists all applications and processes for which you can modify application filter rule sets by creating new rules, editing existing ones, or deleting those that are no longer needed. Each application is explicitly identified by the path to its executable file. Firewall uses the SYSTEM name to indicate the rule set applied to the operating system kernel (the system process for which there is no unique executable file).
|
Firewall allows you to create no more than one set of rules per each application.
If you create a blocking rule for a process or set Block unknown connections mode and then disable the rule or change the work mode, the process is blocked till it will be restarted and will attempt to establish connection again. |
