Authorize a specific application to use specific connections
-
With Network Security enabled and using Deny Rules, use an application-level Authorized Connection to overrule a blocked connection at the global Network Connection Security level.
-
With Network Connection Security enabled and using Allow Rules, use an application-level Authorized Connection to add an additional layer of security: the connection is authorized, but only for the application process. The connection cannot be accessed from another application. For example, if you authorize connection to a specific server group by an SSH Client application, the connection will only be available if it is accessed from the SSH Client. If any other application or process attempts to set up that connection, Network Connection Security will block or log it, depending on its configuration.
