The configuration options here will be automatically compiled into the firewall in question.Īnother important option is ‘Always permit ssh access from the management workstation with this address’. In iptables this will result in a rule being added to either the OUTPUT or INPUT rule chain. If this option is checked, rules that are configured with “Any” in the Source or Destination fields will also generate rules for traffic destined to or from the firewall. The first option is ‘Assume firewall is part of “any”‘. There are a few options, in particular, that I want to point out. The compiler tab (see Figure 2), as the name implies, deals with the compiling settings for the firewall. Click that button to get to the settings in question. The Firewall Settings button is located near the center of the window.
When the Firewall Settings button is clicked, it will open the settings window only for the currently open firewall. Once the firewall is open (double click on the firewall to edit it), look for the Firewall Settings Button (see Figure 1). So, in order to reach the settings window, a firewall must be open within Firewall Builder. The settings I am referring to actually apply to individual firewalls. What I’m talking about is not the Firewall Builder Preferences.
We’ve covered quite a bit already about Firewall Builder This week, I want to open up the Firewall Settings window to illustrate how much further a Firewall can be flexed, stretched, and configured - all from a single, user-friendly window.Īs should be expected, getting to the settings window is simple - so long as it’s not overlooked.

In the last installment of our series on Firewall Builder, I’ll take a look at managing firewall settings with the Firewall Builder. Last week we looked at managing rules in Firewall Builder.
