Use location awareness
Add another location, than you can assign a different policy for the new location. Just click on "Add Location" to add another.

refer the above articles. I can see two locations "Unknown" & "Secure INternal Network". The firewall is assigned to this group. Only one policy can be applied to a group location.
Cheers!

Hi John,
How to add more than two Location based settings firewall policy to the newly created group ?
1) First create a new location.
Clients Tab--> click on policies on right pane--> click on "Add Location" and follow the wizard.
2) Once the location is added go to Policies tab which is below reports tab on the left side.
3) When you apply a policy just right click and you will be able to find all the groups and all the locations inside the group. You can select it location wise .
- MASH
- MASH
When you create a new group it will have just one Policy, You need to create a location based policy as Mash said.
Once its created you can see them on the right hand side.

About working with Firewall Policies
The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager includes a default Firewall Policy with firewall rules and firewall settings for the office environment. The office environment is normally under the protection of corporate firewalls, boundary packet filters, or antivirus servers. Therefore, it is normally more secure than most home environments, where limited boundary protection is available.
When the console is installed for the first time, it adds a default Firewall Policy to each group automatically. Every time a new location is added, the console copies a Firewall Policy to the default location automatically.
If the default protection is not appropriate, it can be customized using the Firewall Policy for each location, such as for a home site or customer site. If the default Firewall Policy is not what is needed, it can be edited or replaced with another shared policy.
Firewall Policies include the following elements:
A location can be set to client control or mixed control so that the user can customize the Firewall Policy.
See Configuring Network Threat Protection settings for mixed control.
Firewall Policies can be edited or created similarly to the way other types of policies can be edited or created. Firewall Policies can be assigned, withdrawn, replaced, copied, exported, imported, or deleted.
Typically a policy can be assigned to multiple groups in the security network. Create a non-shared, location-specific policy if there are specific requirements for a particular location.
