	ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
Table 4-2. Inbound Rules (continued)
Item	Description
Log	This determines whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired
	action:
	• Always. Always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. This is
	useful when debugging your rules.
	• Never. Never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
Bandwidth	Bandwidth Limiting determines the way in which the data is sent to or from your host. The
Profile	purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a solution for limiting the outgoing or incoming
	traffic, thus preventing the LAN users for consuming all the bandwidth of your Internet
	connection. For more information, see See “Creating Bandwidth Profiles” on page 4-27.
	Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.

Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use Policy of your ISP.

Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Only enable those ports that are necessary for your network. It is also advisable to turn on the server application security and invoke the user password or privilege levels, if provided.
