How to Exclude Traffic From Padvish IPS

Problem

1. Padvish IPS detecting malware in my network traffic. How can I exclude this traffic and allow it to pass?
2. When using a backup system and copying backups on the network, Padvish detects a malware signature and prevents the transfer. I am not able to delete malware from inside the backup, how do I exclude backing up traffic from this scan?
3. Transferring data will be slow when activating Padvish Firewall & IPS system on the 1-gigabyte network. How do I increase transferring speed?

Solution

With this method, you can exclude specified traffic from the Padvish scan. This is possible by defining a rule in the Padvish network layer firewall:

1. Go to Padvish Settings> Network tab.
2. In the Firewall section, select Application Rules.
3. Below the appeared window, select Packet Rules.
4. Warning: note that the network rules apply to packages and contrary to the program rules, this firewall is Stateless. Making mistakes in defining rules will result in your disconnection, so pay more attention.
5. Add a new rule:
   • Put your desired name on the rule.
   • Adjust the Decision option on Trust.
   • Adjust Remote Address and Local Port/Remote Port according to the traffic you want to exclude.
6. Warning: Excluding traffic from IPS can make your system vulnerable to worms and network attacks. Therefore, avoid this and only exclude the necessary port and address, if possible.
