Computer users can add trusted LAN users/devices into local Trusted Zone to avoid inconvenient operations from Rising Personal Firewall.

Notice: Computer security inversely proportional against workability. In another word, high operational performance (great convenient workability) always goes with low computer security performance. Therefore, adding trusted users/devices in LAN to Trusted Zone suggests that computer users have great faith in security status of these computers; so, Rising Personal Firewall will not filter any IP packet from those devices, even packets of malicious virus program.
