Is possible 'learning mode' + additional rulles


Recommended Posts

Hi,

in deployment process personal firewall learning mode is great, but it can't give  possible to add addition static rules. Because when some policy define Rules, they lock-down and learning mode failed to create new "learned rules".

trivial example - pc (with complex sofware/network situation) need "learning mode" and without disturb end user, but for admin need that pc can respond to ping. If i create policy who allow icmp, then learning mode is like read-only for creating new rules.

Maybe I miss something?

Your understanding is correct. This is current design, but we are aware of the problem and are planning to introduce changes in ERA V7 and Endpoint V7, that would allow simultaneous selection of Firewall Rules from ERA, but also by learning mode.

I want UP this topic.

For now (hope until v7), it's NOT possible to complete secure firewall of our domain workstations with ERAS. The ONLY option is to trust ESET "Automatic/Learning mode". But this is not enough for our security administrators...

How other administrators deal with this? Is it really - Learning/Automatic mode and "head in the sand"?

 

p.s. Some told - if solution not solve the problem, then search for other solutions... Is this mean - change ESET? :(:angry:

You could try logging in v6 - I. Activate logging of blocked connections: https://support.eset.com/kb3186/?locale=en_US 

I mainly use third party tools to get information which port processes use.

I never use learning mode. This could open many unwanted ports :)

Learning mode is ok if you plan to review generated rules. Isn't automatic mode suitable to use on Endpoint on clients? I'm not speaking about computers in DMZ which would need to have the firewall configured strictly.

It will be ok, when you release v7. But I would love to hear more about that model? Will this finally be some sort of firewall logging?
