New to Zenarmor, what is next

[vicking]

Hi all,

I just finished installing Zenarmor/elastic8 local/native driver with a free license.
Everything is up and running now listening to my lan interface.

So, what is next?
I am a bit confused what to configure next, or is everything (for a simple home setup) enabled out of the box?
I can see some nice reports being generated

Go through the default policy and start turning things on, or make a new policy and start turning things on. Be prepared for some things to stop working, this isn't really a set and forget tool, you do need to sweep through once in a while to allow things that break, and block things you don't want. their default rules are pretty good though.

Note, if you use Creative Cloud, there are many trackers that actually need to be allowed for things to work, I don't like the way Adobe does things!

As bart mentioned, once you installed ZA, jsut go to the policy, you will have only one - default.

There check the free stuff, like thread detection and other tabs. Scope it and enable what you want & Need then just fine tune what is needed using the whitelist.

When I installed ZA 1st time the biggest dragg that was is that ZA blocked a lot of stuff for steam, so I had to play with it a bit.

Regards,

I recommend checking out the Zenarmor documentation site, which contains very detailed and useful information.

If you have any questions or issues on any topic, you can quickly get help by creating a ticket.

We published a video to serve as a guide for first time ZA users:

Video will start right from the Policy configuration, but feel free to start from the beginning.

Hope this helps as well .
