Profile switching
The profile switching feature allows the
Firewall
to switch automatically to the
defined profile when using a certain network adapter, or when connected to a certain
type of network. If no profile has been assigned to a network area yet, then upon
next connection to that area, the
Firewall
will display a dialog asking you to assign a
profile.
You can assign profiles to all local network interfaces or areas and specify further
settings in the
Areas and Adapters Profiles
dialog, where you can also disable the
feature if you do not wish to use it (
then, for any kind of connection, the default
profile will be used
).
Typically, users who have a notebook and use various types of connection will find
this feature useful. If you have a desktop computer, and only ever use one type of
connection (
e.g. cable connection to the Internet
), you do not have to bother with
profile switching as most likely you will never use it.
