- If you connect the computer to a different internet provider, add/remove a network adapter or a network interface is switched on/off, the connection parameters of your computer are changed. So you have new LAN environment, you should have a way to change all the rules related to LAN in all existing zones at once.
- Pressing the button Windows 7 Firewall Control collects all active network interfaces parameters into single list and allows editing them. Each the network interface found is appended with the LAN prefix. As the result all the network interfaces are represented as a list of separate access rules. After the editing of the list is finished all rules with the same prefix from all the zones are replaced with the new rule set. So, you can keep the same security for the applications in a new LAN
- Rules
- The button allows collecting of all the rules from all the zones (and the applications) and editing them in the single list. It gives a possibility to change one or many rules with the corresponding names in all the zones and all the applications at once. For example, you have a special rule for disk sharing. The rule participates in multiple zones enabling/disabling some details for each person using your shared information. If a person changes his connection parameters you need to reflect changes in all the zones. Using the feature you can change a rule and distribute the changes to all the zones, where the rule participates in.
