CHAPTER 3: The ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
50 MUVPN Client
Whenever red or green flashing bars appear in the Alerts icon, the
application receiving or sending traffic is shown as a blinking icon
inside the Programs icon.
How Do I View My Internet Traffic?
If you really want to see Internet traffic every single time it occurs,
make sure the first checkbox below, located on the Configuration
panel, is enabled.
This means that, in addition to being able to view the red and
green bars, you will also see the main ZoneAlarm panel displayed
on top of all the other applications on your desktop.
This will make it obvious that Internet traffic is occurring. Since so
much Internet traffic can occur when you have a live Internet
connection, many ZoneAlarm users disable this checkbox and rely
on the red and green bars only.
How Do I Know How Many Bytes Are Sent and Received?
About Internet traffic, you can always view how many bytes have
been sent to your PC and how many have been received since you
launched ZoneAlarm. These statistics are available at the top of
the Alerts panel as shown below.
Why Did I Get That Alert?
Just below the Bytes received area in the Alerts panel, statistics are
always available immediately after your ZoneAlarm personal
firewall detects an Internet connection attempt that it is being
blocked by the firewall rules you've set up throughout
ZoneAlarm.
The example below shows that a connection attempt by Internet
Explorer was blocked.
