To configure basic firewall settings:
Click Security > Firewall. The Firewall page opens.
In the Firewall area, click Enable to enable the firewall feature (recommended), or
click Disable to disable this feature.
In the Block Proxy area, check to block proxy servers.
A proxy server (or proxy) allows computers to route the connections to other
computers through the proxy, thus circumventing certain firewall rules.
For example, if the connections to a specific IP address are blocked by a firewall
rule, the requests can be routed through a proxy that is not blocked by the rule,
rendering the restriction ineffective.
In the Block Java area, check to block Java applets.
