Connection isolation in connection-aware groups
The connection isolation option in Connection-Aware Groups (CAG) prevents undesirable traffic
from accessing a designated network through other active network interfaces on a computer,
such as a wireless adapter connecting to a wi-fi hotspot while a wired adapter is connected to
a LAN. When the Isolate this connection option is selected for a CAG, and an active Network
Interface Card (NIC) matches the CAG criteria, the only types of traffic processed are traffic
matching allow rules above the CAG in the firewall rules list, and traffic matching the CAG
criteria. All other traffic is blocked.
The process of connection isolation with Connection-Aware Groups begins when the firewall
processes traffic against its list of rules until a Connection-Aware Group (CAG) is encountered.
At the CAG:
• If the traffic through a NIC matches the CAG’s criteria, the firewall evaluates the CAG’s rules
for a match.
• If the traffic through a NIC does not match the CAG’s criteria, and the connection isolation
option is not enabled, the firewall skips the CAG and continues analyzing against the rules
that follow the CAG.
