A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the TA612V is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

Denial of Service (DoS) protection.

Automatically detects and thwarts 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 TA612V will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the router to E-mail the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the router to send immediate alert messages to your E-mail address or E-mail pager whenever a significant event occurs.

The TA612V prevents objectionable content from reaching your computers. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.
