Define Friendly Networks; Create Firewall Rules - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

About Mobile VPN with IPSec

Define friendly networks

You can generate a firewall rule set for specific known networks that you define. For example, if you want to
use the Mobile VPN client on a local network where you want your computer available to other computers,
you can add the network address of that LAN as a friendly network. This differentiates the firewall rules for that
LAN from the firewall rules you create for connections to the Internet and to remote VPN networks.
1. From the Firewall Settings dialog box, click the Friendly Networks tab.
2. Click New to add a new friendly network.
The Automatic Friendly Network detection feature does not work in this release of the Mobile VPN with IPSec
client software.

Create firewall rules

You can create exceptions to the firewall mode you set when you enabled the firewall on the Firewall Rules
tab of the Firewall Settings dialog box. For example, when you enabled the firewall if you selected Basic
Locked Settings, then the rules you create here allow traffic. If you selected Basic Open Settings, then the
rules you create here deny traffic. Firewall rules can include multiple port numbers from a single protocol.
Select or clear the check boxes below View Settings to show or hide categories of firewall rules.
