Hi,

Upon enabling or disabling a firewall, do I have to reboot the computer to take effect?

Thanks.
 
NO.
Since I don't know the certificated answer, however, I tried several times and I did not need to reboot the PC. And It takes about 30 seconds to take effect.

BTW I applied it on my LAN with 6 workstations. Eachtime once firewall enabled, resources can not be accessed from (OTHER) remote PC.
