What does the Firewall “Booster” do and when should I use “Reset”?

[alfredc522]

Hello,
I see in the Firewall section there are options called “Booster” and “Reset”. What exactly do they change, and when is it safe to use each option?

Great question. 

In GetOverX Shield, the Firewall module is designed to enhance the built-in Windows Firewall, not replace it. It mainly offers

• Booster:
  • Optimizes your network security policies.
    
  • Tightens firewall rules to reduce unnecessary exposure to the internet.
    
  • Recommended when you want a more hardened network profile with minimal manual work.
    
• Reset:
  • Restores default firewall rules to a safe baseline.
    
  • Useful if you have changed many rules (manually or through other tools) and you’re no longer sure what’s allowed or blocked.
    

Additionally, you can view, enable or disable advanced rules created by GetOverX Shield in this section. If you’re testing software or troubleshooting connectivity issues, you may temporarily review or adjust those rules instead of using Reset immediately.
