Custom Level Settings

The Custom security level lets you create your own settings to control Internet and network traffic.

Prior to making any changes, the initial Custom settings within the Internet Zone will be Medium and within the Trusted Zone will be Low.

Viewing/editing Custom settings:

On the Edit Custom Level Settings window, you can change the settings.
On the Viewing: Custom Level Settings window, settings are read-only and cannot be changed.

Both windows have the following tabs (click on a tab name for details):

Defined Ports. Determine which standard ports are open to incoming or outgoing traffic.
Custom Ports. For additional ports that you specify, determine which ones are open to incoming or outgoing traffic.
Attacks. View a list of the known attacks that are blocked. (You can temporarily turn off the block for troubleshooting.)
IntelliDefense. When enabled, you can determine the access for each IntelliDefense classification. You also have the option of disabling IntelliDefense.
General. Determine various settings, including default program permissions, broadcast/multicast protocols, and IGMP protocols..

Columns on each tab are resizable, - Point to the divider between the column headers until you see a double arrow, and then drag the divider right or left sortable, - Click on a column header once to sort the column in ascending order; click again to sort in descending order and movable. - You can change the order of how the columns display. Click on the column header, hold the mouse down, drag the column to the new position, then release the mouse

Note: When editing, make sure you click Save to save your changes.

Copying settings from another Security Level:

You can copy settings from any of the preset levels. This is time-saving if you want to use a setup that is similar to a preset levels, but has a few options set differently. Any custom ports you have set up are not overridden.

Click Copy settings from another level and then click on one of the following from the pop-up menu:

Copy Low Level settings
Copy Medium Level settings
Copy High Level settings

Click Yes on the Warning window and then all tabs will be updated with the settings from the selected preset level. You can then make additional changes as desired.

Make sure you click Save on the tab to save your changes.
