Greetings @ and welcome to our Community.

A Firewall is included with SecureAnywhere and is designed to work alongside the Firewall included with Windows.

Please look at this post: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Does-Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus-Have-a-Firewall/td-p/20528

@ - technically our agent does not have a traditional firewall where you can configure inbound/outbound ports with complex rules. We have a setting that is called "firewall", however, it's an outbound port manager and strictly for use by our agent during it's monitoring process for undetermined software.
 
The only relationship to a firewall is for alerting that the built-in MS firewall is not active. Which is off by default.
 
If you need a full featured firewall, the Webroot agent is not designed for that functionality.
