Automatic Configuration During Installation

Most personal firewalls will inform you when an application is attempting to use the internet and ask if you want to allow or block it. With Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security this request occurs during the Dabra installation by showing the following popup.

If at this time you click Allow Connection the Trend Micro PC-cillin software will configure itself to allow Dabra access to the internet. You will never be prompted again, and the Dabra software will function as intended.

Manual Configuration of the Personal Firewall

If Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security was not auto-configured during the installation of Dabra, you can configure it manually to allow Dabra to access the internet.

Launch the PC-cillin Internet Security control panel:
Start > All Programs > Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security > Main Console

Click on the Network Security icon to change the main screen and offer a Personal Firewall configuration choice. Click on the Personal Firewall icon to open the advanced options screen.

In the Manage profiles section click on your current profile (your current profile is shown in the list with an icon to the left of the profile name). Once selected click on the Edit button to open the advanced firewall settings. Click on the Exceptions tab to show a list of all applications that the firewall is aware of.

To add an exception for Dabra click on the Add button. This opens a screen that lets you set the conditions for the exception.

Fill the form as follows:

Description:	Dabra
Target:	Specified application (Use the browse button to locate the Dabra application, typically found at: C:\Program Files\Obvious\Dabra\Bin\DabraAdmin.exe)
Connection:	Outgoing
Action:	Allow
Protocol:	TCP
Ports:	Specified Port(s): 80, 443
Type:	All IP addresses

Click on the OK button to save the exception. The Trend Micro firewall software will redisplay the list of exceptions. Dabra will now appear in the list.

Click the OK button to return to the Internet Security control panel and click the Apply button to save the firewall settings.

Finally, close the Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security window. Dabra is now ready to use.
