Defining Inbound Policy
We will begin by looking at inbound traffic policy. With ''Inbound policy'' selected we can specify the hosts from which we will allow inbound connections. To do so, click in the ''Allow connections from host'' area of the screen area of the screen so that the ''Add Rule'' toolbar button activates. Click on the ''Add Rule'' button to invoke the ''Add new inbound rule'' dialog as shown below:

Enter the host name or IP address of the host for which you wish to enable connections and an optional comment and click the ''Add'' button to add the rule. The IP address or host name will now be listed in the Policy screen. Click on the ''Apply Policy'' button located in the toolbar to make this policy active.
