Configure Internet access settings for programs in Smart Firewall

You can add a program to Program Control to control their ability to access the Internet. When you add the program, you can configure its access settings in Program Rules. You can allow, block, or create the custom rules that are specific to the program that you add.

Manually configured Firewall settings for programs override any settings that Automatic Program Control makes. However, we recommend you to retain the settings that Automatic Program Control makes as and when you run your programs.
