Setting Firewall Rules for Objects

Firewall can filter activity based on the object for which it is requesting access. The objects can include both native objects (such as files, libraries. data queues, printer files, programs, and commands) and IFS objects (which are usually shared from Windows systems).

You can add and modify these filter rules via menu options on the main Firewall screen.
