Blocks only specified types of network traffic and applies to policies that allow all network traffic. An example use of a restrictive policy exception is to block Security Agent ports vulnerable to attack, such as ports that Trojans often use.

Allows only specified types of network traffic and applies to policies that block all network traffic. For example, you may want to permit Security Agents to access only the Apex One server and a web server. To do this, allow traffic from the trusted port (the port used to communicate with the Apex One server) and the port the Security Agent uses for HTTP communication.

Security Agent listening port: Agents → Agent Management > Status. The port number is under Basic Information.

Server listening port: Administration → Settings → Agent Connection. The port number is under Agent Connection Settings.

Apex One comes with a set of default firewall policy exceptions, which you can modify or delete.
