Your Activation Key:

Network settings 1. Every network „area“ is assigned to a colour:

GREEN local network (LAN). This is the safe area where your trusted computers are.

RED external network (WAN). Usually this is the interface connected to the internet.

BLUE wireless network. It is suggested to place the computers that use wireless connections in this area. This kind of network is usually not as safe as a wired one.

ORANGE network for servers connected to the Internet (DMZ). It is meant for the server machines that have to provide services on RED. This way, even if the security of one of these servers has been compromised, the GREEN area will remain safe.

2. Choose your configuration and assign network interfaces to every zone (select one or more network interfaces for each zone) you want to use. Follow all the wizard steps to configure Endian Firewall and protect your network.
