Re: question FOR N O Y B about firewall settings

hi N O Y B..thanks for your responce.
this is still a littel confuse for me.in the first picture i posted which option should i "check"-custom-no security-minimun security[low]--typical security[mediun]--or maximun security[high]

then you said you prefer this set

1.- Inbound Firewall Rules - Medium
Deny All Inbound Packets That Are Not Explicitly Permitted or Do Not Have a Matching Session State Table Entry (Unsolicited)

title [ Security Level Custom (Medium) IN rules ]begin# Drop and Log Packets with Time to Live (TTL) of 0 or 1TTL#drop match 3 8 { 01:FE } >> done, alert 4 [TTL of 0 or ......etc,etc

2.-Outbound Firewall Rules - Low
Permit All Outbound Packets That Are Not Explicitly Denied

title [ Security Level Custom (Low) OUT rules ]begin# Protocol Match conditions# Internet Control Message Protocol# Pass Specific ICMP Types, Drop and Log all other ICMP Types .....................etc,etc

and BTW ..harden security affects connection speeds???

Select and apply custom.
Then edit custom and paste in the rules for inbound and outbound, and apply them.

As for speed, run a comparison speed test. Doubt you will see any meaningful impact.
