BreakWater Settings

BreakWater Basic Firewall’s three settings are:

ClearSailing

ClearSailing provides protection against network initiated inbound traffic, while securely passing outbound traffic through the Gateway. In conjunc- tion with Network Address Translation, this setting allows authorized remote diagnostic support while protecting against undesired inbound traffic.

SilentRunning

Using this level of firewall protection allows secure transmission of out- bound traffic, but disables any attempt for inbound traffic to identify the Gateway. This is the Internet equivalent of having an unlisted number.

LANdLocked

The third option available turns off all inbound and outbound traffic, isolat- ing the LAN and disabling all WAN traffic.

BreakWater Basic Firewall operates independent of the Gateway’s NAT functionality.
