Jetico firewall is good enough to protect your system form Internet Hackers. It provides military-standard data protection software for all highly sensitive information and mission-critical data throughout the lifecycle - permanently delete files, erase entire hard drives, encrypt files/folders, encrypt whole volumes and control network traffic.

After the installation of this firewall, you must now define your trusted zone, that is to say your computer or network on which are your computer. To do so, just go through these steps:-

1. Open the Jetico Setup Wizard and click the Next button.
2. Jetico alone is the address of your network: 192.168.1.0. In case of doubt, you can check the documentation for your router or your box. Click the Next button.
3. Ignore the setting of the sensitive area by clicking Next.
4. Finally click the Finish button.
