Locked Zone

A Zone is locked if:

You have blocked all incoming and outgoing access for computers in the Zone.

For the desired Zone, select the Turn on security and block all inbound and outbound access option. All the computers in the Zone will have neither incoming nor outgoing access.

The status box at the top of the pane will display a Block All message:

The security for the X Zone is Block All

...where XZone is either the Internet Zone or the Trusted Zone.

Idle lock is enabled and you have not moved the mouse/pointing device or used the keyboard for more than 30 minutes (or another time, if you changed the default).

Note: To enable Idle lock, you must be using the Custom security level for the Zone.

A locked Zone does not allow any communication in or out – unless the program attempting communication has a program policy with the "Bypass locked zone" option enabled.

Any use of the keyboard or mouse/pointing device immediately unlocks a locked Zone.

When one or both Zones are locked, the iolo Personal Firewall icon is yellow .
