Location Awareness settings for Mac

Location Awareness settings lets you configure the firewall settings based on the network location to which your Mac is connected. The firewall settings that you configure contains the connection blocking settings for the application and services that run on your Mac. When you connect your portable Mac to a new network location, your Norton product prompts you to select a new firewall setting for the network location.

You can use the Location Awareness window to do the following:

  • Turn on or turn off the Location Awareness feature.

  • View the current network location to which your Mac is connected.

View Location Awareness settings

  1. In the Norton product main window, click Advanced.

  2. On the left pane, click Firewall.

  3. In the Location Awareness row, click the settings icon.

    The Location Awareness window displays the current network location to which your Mac is connected.
