Issue abstract: Ability to copy and transfer some Firewall settings.

Detailed description: I will soon reinstall my windows PC, I know how to manage licenses in my account, however I wanted to ask, is it possible to transfer firewall settings too? Under Traffic Rules I have set up some IPs that get allowed or blocked, and if I open the rule, I can only add or remove, so I can’t even copy them into notepad. Same goes for Program Control, I have manually allowed and blocked connections from certain applications. I saw some old posts from 2011 that it was not possible, but didn’t find any recent one, so is it implemented yet, or do I need to screenshot everything and manually implement them after the reinstall?

Product & version number: Latest version as of this post

OS details:Windows 10 PC

What is the error message you are seeing? none

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them: none

Thank you.

I haven’t changed my PC yet, but, this new Norton feature update came, and now my custom Smart Firewall rules on the same PC are gone, which is what I feared the most…

Hello. The new 24.xx version firewall does not have configurable rules in its current form. That MAY change at some point but its nothing even close to the 22.xx we had prior. The only thing I can suggest is manually creating your rules within the new UI to see what the firewall will allow or try blocking since most of the firewall rules are hard coded.
