Firewall is one of the basic protection layers since many years and we have collected user reported improvement requests, as well as did we identify modernization potential over the course of time. Finally, in ESET Endpoint Security version 10.1 there is a significant overhaul of visual controls with real impact in firewall configuration and usage.
If you run the firewall in automatic mode and prefer to keep out-of-the-box settings, the following lines will be only for your consideration and you can rely that everything works as usual.
However if you deal with network profiles, rule sets or otherwise restrict the traffic, you will encounter a lot of comfort- or usability-driven tweaks. A major one is the completely new rule editor, that is not only available from remote console and locally in endpoint, including rule merging options or full text search, but it now brings a brand-new application-oriented view.
