Working With Rules
Rules are applied in the order they are listed. For example, if a rule that blocks all
traffic is listed first, followed by a rule that allows all traffic, the Agent blocks all
traffic at all times.

To enable a rule on the Agent, make sure the check mark appears in the
Description
column.
General Tab
The
General
tab is used to provide a name for the rule you are creating, as well as the effect
that the rule will have (allowing or blocking traffic).
Rule Description
Functions as the name of the rule, and it should indicate qualities of the rule. For instance,
“Rule1” may not be a very good name for a rule, but “Block After 1 AM” would be.
Block this traffic
Denies traffic specified by the rule from accessing your network.
Allow this traffic
Allows traffic specified by the rule from accessing your network.
