### Windows 7 SP1 64-bit fails to install not digitally signed drivers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### What the difference is between "Internet Addresses" and "Allowed Internet Addresses" on the IPV4 Addresses tab?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. All FW rules act on "Internet Addresses" only.
|
|
|
|
|
LAN addresses are immediately allowed by FW and not checked by app groups or speed limiter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example here you can describe Internet addresses as:
|
|
|
|
|
- "Include All" addresses,
|
|
|
|
|
- but exclude 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. "Allowed Internet Addresses" may be used for example:
|
|
|
|
|
- to block only some addresses:
|
|
|
|
|
- "Include All" addresses,
|
|
|
|
|
- but exclude facebook.com: "31.13.72.36".
|
|
|
|
|
- to allow only some addresses:
|
|
|
|
|
- "Exclude All" addresses,
|
|
|
|
|
- but include wikipedia.com: "91.198.174.192".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filtered apps will be shown in the "Blocked" tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Do the App rules take precedence over the Allowed Internet rules?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Filtering steps:
|
|
|
|
|
1) If **address** is 127.* or 255.255.255.255 and "Filter Local Addresses" is turned off, then _**PERMIT**_
|
|
|
|
|
2) If "Stop Traffic" is turned on, then _**BLOCK**_
|
|
|
|
|
3) If "Filter Enabled" is turned off or **address** is not from "Internet Addresses", then _**PERMIT**_
|
|
|
|
|
4) If "Stop Internet Traffic" is turned on, then _**BLOCK**_
|
2020-02-07 08:32:14 +00:00
|
|
|
5) If **address** is not from "Allowed Internet Addresses", then _**BLOCK**_
|
2019-03-13 07:39:28 +00:00
|
|
|
6) If **app path** is allowed, then _**PERMIT**_
|
|
|
|
|
7) If "Show Blocked Applications" is turned on, then log about blocked event and _**BLOCK**_
