What is Internet Traffic?
ZoneAlarm keeps an eye on all Internet traffic.
Internet traffic includes all data movement to and from the
Internet. It also includes all connection attempts from your
machine to the Internet and vice versa.
The ZoneAlarm personal firewall only stops undesired traffic.
When it does stop an instance of traffic, ZoneAlarm will issue an
alert. The alert can be displayed and stored in a number of places.
Data movement and connection attempts that are allowed
according to your rules in ZoneAlarm, will be allowed to pass
through the firewall.
