CHAPTER 3: The ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
40 MUVPN Client
The Local and Internet Zone each have a security level selector, that you
drag up and down to change the security level. Local Zone security is
displayed in green, and Internet Zone security in blue.
The default security settings are medium for the Local Zone and high for
the Internet Zone.
For all three security levels, the application privileges in the Program
panel are enforced. The following is a description of the three security
levels:
Low
This is the minimal security setting. The Internet Lock feature
allows only application traffic, not server traffic (that is, traffic
outbound from the computer but not inbound from the network).
All local network access to and from your computer and server
applications are allowed, such as Windows file and print shares.
Medium
This is the recommended setting for computers connected to the
Internet through a LAN or WAN. The Internet Lock feature blocks
all traffic. All local network access to and from your computer and
server application is allowed, such as Windows file and print
shares.
High
This is the maximum security setting. The Internet Lock feature
blocks all traffic. All local network access to and from your
computer and server application is blocked, such as Windows file
and print shares. All ports not is use are hidden.
