CHAPTER 3: The ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
34 MUVPN Client
This alert appears whenever one of your programs (in this example,
Internet Explorer) attempts to access the Internet or your local network.
This powerful feature means no information leaves your computer unless
you give it permission.
If you enable the “Remember the answer each time I use this program”
checkbox you will only have to answer this question once for each
program.
ZoneAlarm Features
The ZoneAlarm personal firewall provides a brief tutorial of the product
immediately after installation of the MUVPN client. Carefully read each
step to familiarize yourself with the application.
There are five buttons on the ZoneAlarm personal firewall panel. These
are described in detail below.
The Alerts Panel
The Alert messages generated by ZoneAlarm contain information on
what ZoneAlarm is blocking.
Up and Down Graphs
Notice the two sets of UP and DN (Up and Down) graphs on the
ZoneAlarm Panel. Whenever data is being sent to the Internet, red bars
are displayed inside the two UP graphs. Whenever data is being received,
green bars are displayed inside the DN graphs. If there is no activity to or
from the Internet, ZoneAlarm will display "ZA" on a red and yellow
background.
The two graphs in the top portion of the icon display Internet traffic as
it occurs.
