SpeedTouch™ Web Interface

4.5.10 Firewall

Overview The Overview page summarizes the overall security policy configured on your

SpeedTouch™.

Configure The Configure page allows you to select the security level of the SpeedTouch™.

Select one of following security levels:

Block All: to protect your network from all attempts of incoming (from untrusted site) connection requests and to perform checks on outgoing (from trusted site) connections. This level is meant to prevent incoming malicious traffic.

Standard: to protect your network from all incoming (from untrusted site) connection requests while permitting safe outgoing connections. This is the default.

Disabled: to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic. This does not mean the complete SpeedTouch™ firewall is disabled. It means all traffic coming in on one interface and going out on another is allowed, but access to the embedded services of the SpeedTouch™ (as telnet, web interface,...) is only allowed for clients residing on the LAN side, so the SpeedTouch™ itself stays protected.

High:

Use this Security Level to block all outgoing connections except well known applications (DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, TELNET, IMAP, POP) and block all incoming connections. Game & Application sharing is not allowed by the firewall.
