Network access protection

Network access protection enables you to configure all your network connections in detail. You can allow/deny access to your computer on specific networks, allow/deny access to network devices from your computer and more based on the configuration. By default, ESET Smart Security Premium has pre-configured Firewall rules and network access protection for maximum security. However, specific environments may need custom configuration. Changing the default settings should be done only by an experienced user.
