Changing the rule priority

The priority of a rule is determined by its position on the list of rules. The first rule on the list has the highest priority.

Each packet rule created manually is added to the end of the list of packet rules.

Rules for applications are grouped by application name, and the rule priority applies to an individual group only. Rules for applications created manually have higher priority than inherited rules for application statuses.

To change the packet rule priority:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Firewall component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
4. In the window that opens, select a rule on the Packet rules tab and move it to the required place in the list using the Move up or Move down links.

To change the application rule priority:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Firewall component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
4. In the window that opens, on the Rules for applications tab, select an application and open the rules configuration window by clicking the Configure link.
5. In the window that opens, select a rule on the Network rules tab and move it to the required place in the list using the Move up or Move down links.
