Configuring the Advanced Settings

uStateful Packet Inspection

Your device monitors and limits the access of incoming traffic from the Internet with SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). This allows it to identify and block certain types of attack such as Denial-of-Service (DoS). A typical DoS attack involves a remote com- puter paralysing a system and announcing that it is acting for the paralysed device in order to receive the data meant for it. For the level Custom you can specify your- self whether you wish to activate SPI on your device and which exceptions you wish to make.

ìActivate or deactivate Stateful Packet Inspection for your device's Internet connec- tion.

ìSelect the services for which you also wish to allow incoming Traffic if it has been initiated by a client in your LAN. If you select the All option at the end of the list you can permit all services.

ìClick OK to apply the settings.

Setting up Access Control to the Internet

The Access Control function allows you to block access to various Internet services for one or more PCs. You can limit these blocks to certain days and hours with Schedule Rules.

ìSelect Access Control in the Advanced Settings – Internet – Firewall menu.
