Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony, and others
require multiple connections. Rules are based on the port or range of ports that the

to the configured port(s), it dynamically allows all incoming traffic from the server on any port

for the specified time.

To enable this option, click the [Enable Triggering] checkbox.
