Hi,
I have Norton 360 Program version 24.8.9372.864
I would like to be able to set the Network on the PC running Norton 360 to Public under Security => Advanced => Smart Firewall which will make the PC more secure
I would then like to be able to Set an Exclusion under Security => Advanced=> Intrusion Prevention for specific IP or MAC addresses that will then be able to access a network share on that PC.
This was the standard behaviour of the previous Norton 360 however it does not work now.
If I set the Network to Public the behaviour is correct/expected which is to block most incoming traffic eg RDP, Ping, SMB for network shares and so forth. Now in the OLD Norton 360 I could apply an exclusion IP or MAC address that would allow traffic/connections/RDP/Ping etc from that IP address to get through.
eg My host is 192.168.0.7 running Norton 360 version 24.8.9372.864. I want to run the network in Public mode to stop most access to it.
My guest is 192.168.0.90 and I want to allow it to connect via RDP and SMB to the Host.
In the old Norton 360 I would set the network to Public and then Exclude 192.168.0.90 and it could gain access to the Host
HOWEVER applying an Exclusion IP address at Security => Advanced => Intrusion Protection (Incoming connection from these addresses won’t be blocked) does not have that expected behaviour anymore.
