The Firewall protects your computer from both incoming and outgoing traffic. Enabling the Firewall will restrict network activity based on your Firewall settings. If you need to disable the firewall, you can do it either within or from the System Tray.
To turn off the firewall within VIPRE:
- Click Manage, then Firewall.
- Switch off Firewall Protection. Your firewall is now completely turned off.
To control the firewall from the System Tray:
- Right-click the VIPRE icon in the System Tray.
- Select Firewall.
- Select one of the following:
- Enable Firewall: Turns on the firewall functions that were previously disabled.
- Disable Firewall: Turns off the firewall completely.
- Stop All Traffic: Stops all incoming and outgoing traffic.
- Resume All Traffic: Resumes filtering of incoming and outgoing traffic based on the Firewall settings.
