The Panda Internet Security 2012 firewall can adapt your protection depending on the type of network to which your PC is connected.
The increasing number of laptops, as well as the large number of options designed for use in different network environments, suggest that firewall protection must be able to adapt to different types of networks.
For example, a wireless internet connection at an airport requires a much higher level of security than a home network connection.
The default firewall applies a security level adapted to each type of network: firewall definition computer
Reliable network : A reliable network is a local area network (for example, a home network) where you can safely use shared folders or printers with other networked computers. When your PC connects to a local network, the firewall applies a security layer that allows you to share resources with other computers.
Public network : Public networks are networks that your PC can connect to in public places such as airports, universities, Internet cafes, etc. In such cases, the firewall applies a stricter security level to prevent other computers from accessing your PC.
Auto mode
By default, when the firewall detects that your PC is connected to a network, it will apply the appropriate security level for the type of network (reliable or public). As long as this mode is enabled, you will not have to make any decisions regarding the security of the networks to which your PC connects.
Manual mode
If you want to make your own decisions regarding the security level of the networks to which your PC connects, you can disable Automatic Network Mode . To do this, follow these steps:
Click Check in the main window.
Click Preferences under Security Protection .
Click Firewall .
Uncheck the Enable automatic mode box in the Networks section .
Click OK . In the future, every time your PC connects to a new network, you will see a pop-up warning, through which you can select the security level you need.
