19.3.3. Adapter rules
For each network connection you can configure special trusted or untrusted zones.
A trusted zone is a device that you fully trust, for example a computer or a printer.
All traffic between your computer and a trusted device is allowed. To share resources
with specific computers in an unsecured wireless network, add them as allowed
computers.
An untrusted zone is a device that you do not want to communicate with your
computer at all.
To view and manage zones on your network adapters, follow these steps:
1. Open the Bitdefender window.
2. Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.
3. In the Settings Overview window, select Firewall.
4. In the Firewall Settings window, select the Settings tab.
5. Under Firewall Rules, click Adapter Rules.
A new window will appear displaying the network adapters with active connections
and the current zones, if any.
To manage the zones, use the buttons on the lower part of the window:
● Add Zone - opens the Add IP Address window where you can create a new zone
for a selected adapter.
● Edit Zone - opens the Edit Rule window where you can modify the settings of a
selected zone.
● Remove Zone - deletes the selected zone.
Adding / editing zones
To add or edit a zone, click the corresponding button. A new window displaying the
IP addresses of the devices connected to the network will appear. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the IP address of the computer you want to add, or type an address or
address range in the provided text box.
2. Select the action:
● Allow - to allow all traffic between your computer and the selected computer.
● Deny - to block all traffic between your computer and the selected computer.
3. Click OK to save the changes and close the window.
