Advanced Firewall Protection must be enabled to automatically detect Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and utilize Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to protect your network from hacking. Web and Time Filter allow you to block Internet access according to your needs when enabled.
Denial of Service (DoS)
Protect internal networks from Internet attacks, such as SYN Flooding, Smurf, LAND, Ping of Death, IP Spoofing and reassembly attacks.
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
The Router's Firewall uses Stateful Packet Inspection to maintain connection information that passes through the firewall. It will inspect all packets based on the established connection, prior to passing the packets for processing through a higher protocol layer.
Web Filter
Supports the command level filtering for web protocol. - Proxy
: Contact of the proxy server through a firewall is allowed or denied.
- Java
: Router will strip Java-type files from a web page if Java is disabled.
- ActiveX
: Router will strip ActiveX type files from a web page if Java is disabled.
- Cookie
: Web server can put a cookie into a PC via a Router, but the cookie will strip from the packet by the Router when the PC sends a cookie to the server.
Firewall Report
Shows alert or warning messages that packet violated the Firewall rules (i.e. DoS Attack, Web Filter). Report includes time, log type, and packet information.
View Logs
The message in the Firewall Log is the same as the Firewall Report, but is represented in a different format. Note: You must enable the log function first if you want the Router to record the log.
