based on filtering rules.

Firewall settings
You can choose from the following profiles:
Allow All - allows all network traffic
Block All - blocks all network traffic
Custom Rules - lets you define your own filtering rules
While in the Custom Rules profile, you can choose from
two filtering modes:
Automatic - suitable for users who prefer easy and
convenient use of the firewall with no need to define
rules. This mode allows all outbound traffic. For the
inbound traffic, you can set a default action (Default
Allow or Default Block) in Behavior option.
Interactive - allows you to customize your personal
firewall. When a communication without a
corresponding rule is detected, a dialog window
reporting an unknown connection is displayed. The
dialog window gives the option to allow or block the
communication and to create a rule. If you choose to
create a rule, all such future connections will be allowed
or blocked according to the rule. If an application with
an existing rule has been modified, a dialog window
gives you the option to accept or deny this change. The
existing rule will be modified based on your response.
Block roaming data - if enabled, ESET Mobile Security
automatically detects if your device is connected to a
roaming network and blocks both incoming and
outgoing data. This option does not block the data
received via Wi-Fi or GPRS.
Allow this MMS connection - choose a connection for
receiving MMS messages in a roaming network. MMS
messages from other connections will be blocked by ESET
Mobile Security.
In the Rules tab, you can edit or remove existing filtering
rules.
