Custom connections
Trusted and untrusted connection types let you specify whether to allow or block communications
originating within a network.
Configure a custom connection type when you want to be more specific about where communications
originate. When you set up a custom connection, you can designate:
•
Open and blocked ports, through which a computer can and cannot receive communications. This is
required to set up a computer as a server that provides system services. The server will accept
communications through any open port from any computer. Conversely, it will not accept
communications through any blocked port.
•
IP addresses from which a computer can receive communications. This allows you to limit
communications to specific IP addresses.
Configure settings for custom connections on the General tab of the Firewall Protection policy page.
