[QUOTE="X195, post: 1058194, member: 103492"] Hi, In the WFC user guide on page 24 it states: From the last sentence, I assume I should delete the standard windows firewall rules and just use the WFC recommended ones as a starting point? What are the benefits / consequences of doing this? ======================================================================== Although the user guide is thorough in describing all of the features of the software, it doesn't really explain how a new user should approach getting it configured. Does this sound like a sensible approach for a newcomer to using the software?
