There are two ways to create firewall rules:
●
You can start by first setting up a connection between two objects on the desktop
and then configuring firewall rules for this connection.
To set up a connection, you can first click in the toolbar at the top of the desktop
and then select first the source object and then the target object to create a con-
nection between them. Or you can click
in the circular menu of the source object
on the desktop and then select the target object.
The "Firewall Rules" panel opens, automatically applying the firewall rules filter
regarding "Sources" and "Destinations" to display already existing firewall rules for
this connection, if applicable.
●
Alternatively, you can create firewall rules under "Network > Firewall Rules" (see
Chapter 3.4.2.1, "Firewall Rules", on page 55 ). Then the connection between
two objects on the desktop is automatically set up by defining a source and a desti-
nation on the "Firewall Rule" editor panel.
On the "Firewall Rules" panel, you can set up firewall rules.

traffic. If no time profile is selected, the rule will be applied 24/7. There are
four preset time profiles available:
●
Office hours – The rule is applied on weekdays (Monday to Friday)
from 06:00 a.m. to 04:00 p.m.
●
Outside office hours – The rule is applied on weekdays (Monday

Weekdays – The rule is applied around-the-clock from Monday to Fri-
day.
●
Weekend – The rule is applied around-the-clock on Saturday and Sun-
day.
To configure a custom time profile, click the "New Time Profile" link below
the drop-down field or navigate directly to "Firewall > Time Profiles" . For
more information, see Chapter 3.4.1.10, "Time Profiles", on page 54.
