"Members" Button
Click this button to add or remove members from the current
Group.
If the current group is "Default", then members can not be
added or deleted. This group contains PCs not allocated to any

other Group.

Group they are currently in.

Restrictions
Select the desired options for the current group:
None - Nothing is blocked. Use this to create the least restric-
tive group.
Block all Internet access - All traffic via the WAN port is
blocked. Use this to create the most restrictive group.
Block selected Services - You can select which Services are to
block. Use this to gain fine control over the Internet access for
a group.
Block by Schedule
If Internet access is being blocked, you can choose to apply the
blocking only during scheduled times. (If access is not blocked, no
Scheduling is possible, and this setting has no effect.)
Services
This lists all defined Services. Select the Services you wish to
block. To select multiple services, hold the CTRL key while
selecting. (On the Macintosh, hold the SHIFT key rather than
CTRL.)

Firewall Rules
For normal operation and LAN protection, it is not necessary to use this screen.
The Firewall will always block DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. A DoS attack does not attempt
to steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it
- the service is unavailable.
As well, you can use this screen to create Firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. But
Incorrect configuration may cause serious problems.
This feature is for advanced administrators only!
Firewall Rules Screen
Click the
Firewall Rules
option on the Security menu to see a screen like the following exam-
ple. This example contains two (2) rules for outgoing traffic.
