Firewall rules definitions

Each rule is made of two elements: an object and an action.
An action can be ‘pass’ or ‘block’.
An object can be an app, a directory, an IP address, a CIDR network address, a TCP/UDP port or a TCP/UDP port range.

There are three types of rules in Vallum, defined in three different places. These should be considered as three different layers of rules, each one having its own priority:

• Global Rules
  Global Rules affect all your Macs connections. All processes and apps connections are always checked against these rules.
  
  
• Managed Apps Rules
  Managed Apps Rules are applied to apps. Each app has its own set of rules.
  
  
• Managed Folders Rules
  Managed Folders Rules are applied to directories. Each directory has its own set of rules.
