How To Add More General Rules In Fw?

in Firewall

Im using Bitdefender IS 2012 for more than a month now and i can see that there's no way to add more rules under General Rules window in firewall options.


is there any way/trick around it to add more general/system-wide rules to the firewall? lets say if i wanna block a port entirely.


thanks

    Hi Farzad


    In order to add a new rule in our firewall, please follow the steps from our user guide, page 108, chapter 9.6.

    You can not block a certain port, you have to create a rule for the application.


    Thank you.

    ok so basically i can not edit or add new rules (i dont mean allow/deny option) and just application rules. well that ###### but i guess have to live with it.


    thanks for your time.

    Welcome back Farzad


    Thank you for your feedback.


    Now, the link has been corrected.


    You can edit the existing rules and create new ones by following those steps. I will talk to our developers to see if they can implement some advanced settings under general rules for users that need to heavily configure the firewall.


    Let me know if you need something else.


    Take care.
