Network Zones

• A 'Network Zone' can consist of an individual machine (like a home computer connected to the internet), or a network of thousands of machines. Access to any network zone can be easily granted or denied in the network zones panel.

• The 'Network Zones' panel lets you configure: 

• Automatic detection of networks to which your computer can connect  

• Alerts for network connections

• Trusted network zones which you want to allow  

• Untrusted network zones which you want to block 

Open the Network Zones panel

• Click 'Settings' on the CIS home screen

• Click 'Firewall' > 'Network Zones'.

 Network Monitoring Settings:

• Enable automatic detection of private networks - The firewall monitors attempted connections to any new wired or wireless network (Default = Enabled). Deselect this option if you are an experienced user and wish to manually set-up your own trusted networks (this can be done in 'Network Zones' and through the 'Stealth Ports Wizard').

• Do not show popup alerts and treat location as - CIS can show an alert when your computer attempts to connect to a new network.

• Disabled - The alert is shown. Select the appropriate network type for your connection. CIS will optimize the firewall for security and usability based on your choice.(Default)

• Enabled - The alert is not shown. You now need to pick a default network type from 'Home', 'Work', or 'Public'. CIS will automatically apply your choice of network type to all new connections.

• Select 'Do not detect new networks again' If you are an experienced user that wishes to manually set-up their own trusted networks. This can be done in 'Network Zones' and through the 'Stealth Ports Wizard').

The panel has two tabs:

• Network Zones - Define network zones with specific access rights. Application access privileges are specified in the Application interface. See 'Create or Modify Firewall Rules' for more details.

• Blocked Zones - Define networks that are not trusted. CIS will deny all connections to blocked zones.
