Turn off a Traffic rule temporarily

You can temporarily turn off a Traffic rule if you want to allow specific access to a computer or a program. You must remember to turn on the rule again when you are done working with the program or computer that required the change.

You cannot turn off some of the default firewall rules that appear in the list. You can only view the settings of these rules by using the View option.

  1. Open your Norton device security product.

    If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

  2. In the Norton product main window, click Settings.

  3. In the Settings window, click Firewall.

  4. On the Traffic Rules tab, uncheck the box next to the rule that you want to turn off.

  5. Click Apply.
