If you want to have a single host or policy domain use different firewall rules, you will have to create a new firewall profile and select that policy domain or host to use that profile. We recommend to do it like this: <ol><li>Log in to the Policy Manager Console</li><li>Go to the <strong>Settings</strong> tab</li><li>Select your existing firewall profile from the "Profile being edited" drop-down menu and click Clone</li><li>Give the new profile a name and click OK</li><li>Edit the newly created firewall profile to your liking</li><li>Select the single host or policy domain from the Domain tree</li><li>Depending if the host is a Workstation or Server, select the newly created profile from the "Workstation host profile" or "Server host profile" drop-down menu</li><li>Distribute the policy (Ctrl + D)</li></ol> To create a custom firewall rule <b>locally on the workstation:</b><br><br>In versions 14.00 and later, rules are added through the Windows firewall settings. You can reach them through the Client Security or Server Security user interface: <ol><li>Open Client Security or Server Security user interface</li><li>Go to Settings</li><li>Click on <b>Firewall settings</b></li><li>Click on the <b>Change Windows Firewall settings...</b>-link to be brought to the Windows firewall settings</li></ol><p>Article no: 000002698</p> </article> </main>
