As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the software program 14 is a program for changing the firewall settings. During the execution of the software program 14, the firewall settings need to be changed to achieve some functions of the program. Assume that the original firewall setting of the operating system 12 is ALL, indicating that all IPs can pass through the firewall. As shown in the situation a, when the software program 14 changes the firewall setting value according to the demand during the execution only IP: 10.36.143.168, this is a new set value. When the software program 14 needs to reply to the firewall setting of the operating system 12, under normal circumstances, the firewall setting value (existing setting value) at the time of reply is also IP: 10.36.143.168, so the firewall setting value will be restored to the original setting value. ALL.

As shown in case b, the software program 14 changes the firewall setting value from ALL (original setting value) to IP: 10.36.143.168 (new setting value) during execution, assuming that the user wishes to set all subdomains at this time. The IP can pass through the firewall, and the firewall settings of the operating system 12 are changed to SUBNET before the reply program is executed. In this case, when the software program 14 needs to reply to the firewall setting of the operating system 12, it is determined that the firewall setting value (existing setting value) at the time of reply is SUBNET, which is not the same as the new setting value, so the existing setting value SUBNET is retained to match The will of the user does not blindly return to the original set value ALL.
