Chapter 17 Introduction 73 Level Trusting Open Description Allows programs to have either inbound and outbound (full) or outbound-only Internet access. The default security level is Trusting with the option selected to allow programs outbound-only access. If a program is allowed full access, then Firewall automatically trusts it and adds it to the list of allowed programs on the Program Permissions pane. If a program is allowed outbound-only access, then Firewall automatically trusts it when making an outbound Internet connection only. An inbound connection is not automatically trusted. Allows all inbound and outbound Internet connections. Firewall also allows you to immediately reset your security level to Trusting (and allow outbound-only access) from the Restore Firewall Protection Defaults pane.
