ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products that automatically configure firewalls are provided. An blocked attempt by a software application executing on a user device to communicate through a firewall is detected. Information about the detected communication attempt is collected. A danger level of allowing the software application to communicate through the firewall is assessed based upon the collected information. The blocking rules/policy of the firewall are automatically modified to allow the software application to communicate through the firewall if the assessed danger level is below a threshold level.
