Incoming requests still get prompts despite global rules

Help for v3
#1

ok, so needing some clarification here … see attached two screenies of my network zones and global rules. With that in mind why would I still get prompted for connections that originate in my 192.168.1.x network?

For example, I RDP’d to my box from my laptop, and couldn’t get in as it was being blocked by CFP which was evidenced in the logs … very odd, or am I misunderstanding how this works?

You also need rules to allow the connections in your application rules. The global rule allows the connection request to be passed to an application, but you still need a rule for the specific application to do something about it.

righto, thanks for clearing that up.
