F-SECURE LINUX SECURITY User Manual

What Are Security Profiles?
Firewall security profiles define the level of protection on the computer.
Each security profile has a predefined set of firewall rules, which define the type of traffic that
is allowed to or denied from your computer. To some levels you can also add rules that you have
created yourself.
The following table contains a list of the security profiles available in the product and the type of
traffic each of them either allow or deny.
