data packets, to make your Internet connection

 

become very slow, even unusable. Check this box

 

and the router will ignore all inbound PING

 

requests. But when you activate this function, you

 

will not be able to ping your own router from the

 

Internet, either.

Port Scan (3):

Some malicious intruder will try to use a 'port

 

scanner' to know how many ports of your Internet

 

IP address are open, and they can collect a lot of

 

valuable information by doing so. Check this box

 

and the router will block all traffic which is trying to

 

scan your Internet IP address.

Sync Flood (4):

This is another kind of attack, which uses a lot of

 

fake connection requests to consume the memory of

 

your server, and try to make your server become

 

unusable. Check this box and the router will filter

 

this kind of traffic out.
