Firewall Profile Dialog
The network profiles set the appropriate firewall settings and security setting based on the type of network that you connect to. You can enable Advanced Installer to add a new firewall exception to a specific network profile.
Active profile
If this option is selected, the firewall exception will be added to the currently active network profile.
Specific profile
If this option is selected you can specify the network profiles for which the firewall exception will be added. You can select any combination made from the three profiles.
Domain
If this option is selected the firewall exception will be added to the "Domain" network profile. This profile is specific to enterprise workplaces and the network location is controlled by the network administrator.
Private
When this option is selected the firewall exception will be added to the "Home" and "Work" network profiles. These profiles are specific to private locations where all the devices from the network are trusted and therefore the network discovery is set the on.
Public
When this option is selected the firewall exception will be added to the "Public" network profile. This profile is specific to public places and therefore network discovery is set to off to prevent the computers from any mallware.
The Private, Public, Domain network
profiles exist only on Windows Vista and above. On older
operating systems only the Active network profile
exists and can be configured.
If you are installing a package on an older OS that was configured to
add firewall exceptions to "Public, Private" or "Domain" profiles they
will be added to the "Active" profile.
