FIREWALL

The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply
You can allow the VPN packets to pass through this Broadband router.
- Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) from your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.

Enable DMZ: Enable / Disable DMZ
LAN IP Address: Fill-in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN Network or select a PC from the list on the right that will receive all the packets originally from the WAN port/Public IP address.
- Denial of Service (DoS)
The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events.
Flood: Protects the router from Sync Flood attack.
