Types of Connection Security Rules
Depending on the scenario you want to implement or the business need you are trying to meet, different types of connection security rules may be needed for your environment. Windows Firewall with Advanced Security allows you to create the following types of connection security rules:
- Isolation rules These rules are used to isolate computers by restricting inbound connections based on credentials such as domain membership. Isolation rules are typically used when implementing a server or domain isolation strategy for your network.
- Authentication exemption rules These rules are used to identify computers that do not require authentication when attempting to connect to a domain member when implementing a domain isolation strategy.
- Server-to-server rules These rules are used to protect communications between specific computers. This is basically the same as an isolation rule except that you can specify the endpoints.
- Tunnel rules These rules are used to protect communications between gateways on the public Internet. In Windows 7, you can create dynamic tunnel endpoint rules that enable Client-to-Gateway and Gateway-to-Client tunnel configurations.
- Custom rules These rules can be created when the other types of connection security rules don't meet the needs of your environment.
