These settings are part of Windows Firewall, which protects computers by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access through the Internet or a network. With these settings, you can specify whether to enable or disable the Windows Firewall for domain, standard, and public profiles.

You can also enable or disable firewall notifications, specify information about the log, and disable Windows Firewall File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Windows Firewall Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection inspection engines with these settings.

To actually enable Windows Firewall, you must also include Firewall UI in your image.
