Manage Firewall client rules

Prev Next

Tune and tighten security by reviewing Firewall client rules and moving them to a Rules policy.

Firewall client rules are created manually on a client or automatically in Adaptive mode.

For information about server tasks, see the ePO - On-prem documentation.

  1. From the System Tree, click Wake Up Agents.

    The agent wake-up call collects the Firewall client properties, including client rules, from the client.

  2. Select MenuAutomationServer Tasks, then run the Endpoint Security Firewall Property Translator server task.

    Defining a network as trusted causes Firewall to create an internal bi-directional Allow rule with remote network criteria set to the trusted network. Any traffic to and from the trusted networks is allowed.

  3. Select MenuReportingFirewall Client Rules.

  4. In the System Tree, select a group to display its details.

  5. Review the client rules to determine which rules to promote to a Rules policy.

  6. Move rules to a policy by selecting rules, clicking New Firewall Rule, then indicating the policy to move the rules to.

  7. In the Firewall Options policy, deselect these options:

    • Enable Adaptive mode

    • Retain existing user-added rules and Adaptive mode rules when this policy is enforced

  8. Enforce the updated Options and Rules policies.

The rules from the Rules policy replace the client rules that were created on the client system.
