Add or edit network connection profile

Custom network connection profile enables you to apply Firewall rules, Brute-force attack protection rules and define additional settings for specific network connections. You will specify to which network connections the custom profile will be assigned in the Activators section.

Type the profile Name and Description.

Always trusted addresses—Addresses defined here are added to the trusted zone of adapters connected to this network (regardless of the network's protection type).

Trusted connection—Your computer and shared files stored on your computer are visible to other network users, and system resources are accessible to other users on the network (access to shared files and printers is enabled, incoming RPC communication is enabled and remote desktop sharing is available). We recommend using this setting when creating a profile for a secure local network connection. All directly connected network subnets are also considered trusted. For example, if a network adapter is connected to this network with the IP address 192.168.1.5 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 is added to that network connection trusted zone. If the adapter has more addresses/subnets, all of them will be trusted.

Report weak WiFi encryption—ESET Server Security will display a desktop notification when you connect to an unprotected wireless network or network with weak protection.
