Host Access Rules

Figure 6 shows an example of two host access rules, namely, The World (i.e., all IP addresses and all ports) and The Intranet (i.e., local subnet on 80/tcp and 443/tcp). In figure 7, “The World” and “The Intranet” rules have been assigned to the “All Employees” group and respectively marked allowed (green icon) and denied (red icon).

It’s important to note that the host access rules do not apply to all program executables running on the Terminal Server; they only apply to the ones specified by the administrator. (Figure 8). All other apps are not affected by the configured host access rules.
