Since it’s a recurring question I would like to share some of my Firewall rules and policies.

Firewall\Common Tasks\My Network Zones

  • Local Area Network
    IP in [your network IP Mask (eg 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0)]
    IP 0.0.0.0
    IP 255.255.255.255

  • Internet-wide Multicast
    IP in 224.0.1.0-238.255.255.255

  • Special & Local Multicast
    IP in 224.0.0.0-224.0.0.255
    IP in 239.0.0.0-239.255.255.255

Firewall\Advanced\Predefined Firewall Policies

  • LAN
    Allow IP In From In [Local Area Network] To IP Any Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP Out From IP Any To In [Local Area Network] Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP In From In [Special & Local Multicast] To IP Any Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP Out From IP Any To In [Special & Local Multicast] Where Protocol Is Any
    Block and Log All Unmatching Requests

  • LAN & Outgoing
    Allow IP In From In [Local Area Network] To IP Any Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP Out From IP Any To In [Local Area Network] Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP In From In [Special & Local Multicast] To IP Any Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow IP Out From IP Any To In [Special & Local Multicast] Where Protocol Is Any
    Allow TCP or UDP Outgoing Requests
    Block and Log All Unmatching Requests

  • Web Browsers with FTP capabilities by georgeB
    Allow Outgoing TCP Requests
    Allow Outgoing DNS Requests

    Block and Log All Unmatching Requests

  • Ftp Clients by georgeB

    Allow Incoming FTP-DATA Requests
    Block and Log All Unmatching Requests

Firewall\Advanced\Network Security Policies\Application Rules

  • Svchost - LAN & Outgoing
  • System - LAN & Outgoing
  • Explorer - LAN

Firewall\Advanced\Network Security Policies\Global Rules

  • Allow and Log TCP or UDP Out From IP Any to IP Any Where Source Port Is In [Privileged Ports] And Destination Port Is Any
  • Allow TCP or UDP Out From IP Any to IP Any Where Source Port Is Not In [Privileged Ports] And Destination Port Is Any
  • Allow IP out from Any IP to Any IP where the protocol is GRE
  • Allow ICMP Out From From IP Any to IP Any Where ICMP Message Is ECHO REQUEST
  • Allow ICMP In From From IP Any to IP Any Where ICMP Message Is ECHO REPLY
  • Allow ICMP In From From IP Any to IP Any Where ICMP Message Is TIME EXCEEDED
  • Allow ICMP In From From IP Any to IP Any Where ICMP Message Is FRAGMENTATION NEEDED

Last Step Should be to use Firewall\Common Tasks\Firewall Stealth Configuration and Choose “I would like to be completely visible from whitin a trusted network” and allow [Local Area Network] and [Special & Local Multicast]

Feel free to point out any error or add any suggestion.

NOTE: When you add your private IP range to yout [Local Area Network] Zone don’t forget to add Your Network Address (usually ending with .0) and Brodcast Address (usually ending with .255) Using IP Masks or IP Ranges

eg: Network Address: 10.0.0.0, Brodcast Address: 10.255.255.255
IP Mask 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
IP Range 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255

[b]Edit by Soya:[/b] Please uninstall any existing CFP version before installing this to avoid stability issues.

good job

(V) Thank you!

9

I know a Thank You is in order, but I don’t thin it quite says how much we appreciate your effort !!! (R)

10

How should I upgrade to this version from the previous beta - do I just install over the top, or do I have to uninstall the previous version first.

Does it remember the current settings, or do I need to export settings somehow first?

11

Appreciate Comodo Team~!
Thanks for the great work!

12

Thnx COMODO (:CLP)

13

Valid question. Whenever installing to a non-finalized version, it is strongly suggested that the existing version be uninstalled first to avoid stability issues. I added this comment on Melih’s announcing post, as well as edited the listing to features/etc. to make it more viewable.

14

Great , thanks (:CLP)

15

These are really usefull updates. Thank you Melih! (:CLP)

16

Forgot to say: keep up the good job, guys! :■■■■

ps: When will you make it possible to start the localization job?

17

You guys are really great!! Thank you for your hard work and all the effort you made to give us the fantastic firewall (and even more)!!

(L)

Going to test right now, but even I already know that (R)! (:LOV)

18

I think once we have all the bugs cleared, then the team can concentrate on localization…

Melih

19

Can I install this “over the top”, or do I need to uninstall the last beta first?

20

UNINSTALL!!! ;D
