A Newbie Question

I have been using a different firewall/security suite for many years. I won't get into any names but it begins with a Z and ends with an Alarm. Due to some conflicts I need to switch. I've read al the reviews and have chosen Bitdefender (probably). I have a few very specific needs so I need to ask. I have to have the ability to open or close several specific ports, I just have to make sure that Bitdefenderr has that ability. I need selective assess the net, I mean can I write "exceptions" to allow or deny access to certain specific users or programs? Any comments or suggestions are welcome.


Thanks for listening to the new kid

    Hello Dusty,


    Welcome to the Bitdefender forums.


    You can view and manage the Bitdefender firewall rules controlling applications' access to network resources and the internet. Through 'Application rules' you can:


    - select the application the rule applies to


    - specify the local IP address and port the rule applies to


    - select the type of network the rule applies to


    If you're still not convinced, the best way to know is to give it a try. First 30 days are free:
