Denial of Service (DoS) protection

Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing.

Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.

Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

Logs security incidents

The DG834GV will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the modem router to email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the modem router to send immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.
