How to Configure the Firewall Module?
Follow these steps to configure the Firewall module:
- Create a network profile. Whenever you log on to a new network, a wizard will appear. Complete the firewall wizard in order to create a set of basic firewall rules for the network profile.
 Note
The wizard can also be launched any time you want by clicking  Reset profile in the Traffic section.
- Set protection level. Go to the Status section to set the firewall policy (Deny All, Allow All, Allow All Whitelisted, Ask).
 Important
We recommend that you maintain protection at the Allow all whitelisted level. This way, BitDefender will create rules for the most common applications without bothering you.
- Create rules. Go to the Traffic section and click the
 Add button to create rules for your most commonly used applications. You must specify the rule parameters.
- Set advanced firewall options. Go to the Advanced section to specify the filtering rules for the ICMP traffic and other firewall settings.
