Basics: How To Configure Checkpoint Firewall?

Here’s the basic use configuration guide on checkpoint firewall:

• Log in to your Smart Dashboard using IP of the Management Server and your credentials.
• Alter the policy of firewall such that it allows some traffic to pass by while blocking all other. For this, go to Rules > Add Rule > TOP
• Change the ‘any source’ to ‘new source’ by clicking on each section and changing the desired content.
• Now, add HTTP under Service section and click on Accept.
• You can also limit the user’s browsing under the ‘Application and URL filtering’.

This method covers the basic configuration of checkpoint firewall.
