Changing the priority of an application network rule
The priority of a network rule is determined by its position in the list of network rules. Firewall executes the rules in the order in which they appear in the list of network rules, from top to bottom. According to each processed network rule that applies to a particular network connection, Firewall either allows or blocks network access to the address and port that are indicated in the settings of this network connection.
Manually created network rules have a higher priority than default network rules.
You cannot change the priority of application group network rules that are created by default.
To change the priority of a network rule:
In the main application window, click the Settings button.
In the application settings window, select Essential Threat Protection → Firewall.
Click the Application rules button.
The Firewall window opens to the Application network rules tab.
In the list of applications, select the application or group of applications for which you want to change the priority of a network rule.
Right-click to bring up the context menu and select Application rights or Group rights depending on what you need to do.
This opens the Application rights or Application group rights window.
In the window that opens, select the Network rules tab.
Select the network rule whose priority you want to change.
Use the Move up and Move down buttons to move the network rule to the desired spot in the list of network rules.
Click OK in the Group rights window if the rule is intended for a group of applications, or in the Application rights window if the rule is intended for an application.
