Configure Norton Smart Firewall to trust a network connected to your Mac

Your Norton product helps you view and manage your network. Your Norton product automatically detects the network that your Mac uses to connect to the Internet and lists them in the Private networks window. You can trust the network connection.

If you think the detected network connection is safe, add it to the trusted network list.
