Create First-Level Filter

This topic applies to both ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client.

You can create the following filters:

• First- and second-level filters in the Public Network.
• Second-level filters (protocol filters) for:
  • individual filters of ViPNet nodes
  • the main filter <All IP packets>
  • broadcast filters in the Private Network
  • the main filter <All unregistered IP addresses>
  • broadcast filters in the Public Network.

To create a first-level filter in the Public Network:

1. Right-click the Public Network folder and select Access Rules > Add a new rule from the pop-up menu.

   

   The Access rule dialog box appears:

   

2. Type a name for the rule in the Alias text field.
3. If you know the IP address:
   1. Click the Add button. The IP address dialog box appears:

      

   2. Type the IP address (or IP address range) and click OK.
4. If you don't know the IP address:
   1. Type a URL (eg, website name, FTP) or the computer's network name in the Computer name text box.
   2. Click OK.

      The Find computer dialog box appears. It will search for the computer name or URL you have defined. If it finds a match, the correct IP address will appear in the IP addresses area of the Access rule dialog box.

5. Click either the Allow or Block radio buttons to allow or block that IP address.

   

6. To add a protocol filter, click the Add a Protocol Filter button and follow the instructions for creating a second-level filter.
7. Click OK to save your settings.
