Setting security profiles The NVFirewall™ application allows several security profiles to match your system security needs. The following describes the NVFirewall™ security profiles: • L o w - allows safe incoming connections and deny those that are known to be dangerous connections. This profile also enables some anti-hacking features. • M e d i u m - blocks most incoming connections. Incoming connections to some ports must be set to allow file transfers using some online messaging applications. This profile also enables some anti-hacking features. • H i g h - allows the least traffic through. Only outbound connections are allowed. This profile also includes the "stealth mode' feature that makes your system invisible to intruders. This also enables some anti-hacking features. • L o c k d o w n - blocks all incoming and outgoing connections. • A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y - this profile enables all anti-hacking features but disables the firewall. This security profile is useful if you want to use a third-party firewall application. • C u s t o m 1 , 2 , 3 - these are reserved for customized profiles. • O f f - deactivates the firewall. To set a security profile: 1. From the NVFirewall™ summary menu, click the C u r r e n t F i r e w a l l P r o f i l e combo list box then select a security profile.
