StoneWall service/component and Integrated IP filtering engine

Hi all,   A bit of a simple question (I hope) but what exactly is the StoneWall service bundled in with the F5 Edge Client (Win) and what does it have to do with the Integrated IP filtering option...
BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)

Hi all,

 

Just in case anyone is interested in an answer for this one, the StoneWall service is specifically linked to "Always Connected" mode. With "Always Connected" mode in operation the StoneWall service serves as a firewall only permitting pre-VPN traffic to the VPN connection address.

 

Thanks
