Configuring the Firewall
To configure basic firewall settings:
STEP 1
Click
Security
>
Firewall
. The Firewall page opens.
STEP 2
In the
Firewall
area, click
Enable
to enable the firewall feature (recommended), or
click
Disable
to disable this feature.
STEP 3
In the
Block Proxy
area, check to block proxy servers.
A proxy server (or proxy) allows computers to route the connections to other
computers through the proxy, thus circumventing certain firewall rules.
For example, if the connections to a specific IP address are blocked by a firewall
rule, the requests can be routed through a proxy that is not blocked by the rule,
rendering the restriction ineffective.
STEP 4
In the
Block Java
area, check to block Java applets.
