Which option is used to filter TCP/IP traffic based on predefined criteria?

• A. Detect Automatically
• B. Connection Rules
• C. Public Network
• D. Program Rules

Answer: (B)

Connection Rules let you filter TCP/IP traffic by predefined criteria. They let you specify details like the protocol (TCP or UDP), port numbers, source and destination addresses, and the direction of traffic, and then decide whether to allow or block those connections. This is how you enforce precise control over which network traffic is permitted. For example, you can allow HTTPS traffic to a specific server on port 443 while blocking other inbound TCP connections. The other options relate to different functions: Detect Automatically isn’t about low-level traffic filtering; Public Network designates the network location/profile; Program Rules control network access by application rather than by TCP/IP connection criteria.
