I want to change the order of a rule set |
|
Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall use a top-down matching approach for firewall rules. This means that Norton Internet Security starts with the first rule in the list and tries to match inbound and outbound communications to each rule in succession in the list. If a match is found, the rule is applied to the communication. Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall stop looking for matches if a match is found. If no match is found, the communication is permitted by default.
