7. Firewall

7.1. Enable

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).

7.2. Advanced

If you are using some VPN access for your work or other purpose, you can enable the options here to pass the VPN packets correctly. These options are enabled by default, the router is not a VPN server or client, it only pass through the packets.

Note: For VPN connections, it might require to open some ports when you run your PC behind a router. For port information, please refer to each VPN software’s help site.

7.3. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from 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) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
