To help provide security for your computers, the firewall blocks traffic
from unrecognised applications on your computers. However, applications
commonly used in your organization may be blocked, thus preventing users from
performing their everyday tasks.
You can
trust these applications, so that they can communicate through the firewall.
Trusted applications are allowed full and unconditional access to the network and the
internet.
Note: For greater security, you can apply one or more application rules to
specify the conditions under which the application can run. For information on how
to do this, see
Application rules.
