TrustedSource rating and blocking: Firewall rules block or allow incoming or outgoing
traffic according to McAfee TrustedSource ratings
•
• IP spoof protection: Firewall rules block outgoing traffic when the local IP address isn't
one of the local system's IP addresses, and when a local MAC address is not a VM guest
MAC address
• Bridged VM support: Firewall rules allow traffic with a local MAC address that is not the
local system's MAC address but is one of the MAC addresses in the range of supported
VM software
• Startup protection: Firewall rules block all incoming traffic before the firewall services
have started
• Additional firewall policy: Firewall DNS Blocking that consists of a set of domain name patterns
that are to be blocked. This policy replaces the Domain Rule that blocked DNS resolution
for user-specified domain names.
• New features for the Firewall Rules policy:
• Firewall rules are much more flexible: A single rule can now contain multiple applications
(previously only one), multiple networks (previously only one), a local network and a
remote network (previously only a remote network), and VPN media type in addition to
wired and wireless.
• Connection-Aware Groups are now simply firewall groups that have location information
and schedules with timed access for connections associated with them
• Executable matching for applications is now by path, hash, digital signature and file
description for firewall rules instead of path and hash only.
