Configuring the Advanced Settings
Attack detection
If the firewall functions of your Gigaset SE366 WLAN are activated, the device monitors and limits access by incoming data traffic via the Internet connection with a function called Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI). This allows the Gigaset SE366 WLAN to identify and block certain types of attack from the network, e.g. Denial of Service (DoS). DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with Internet connections. The aim is not so much to steal data but to paralyse the computer or network so that network resources are no longer available. A typical hacker attack involves a remote computer claiming to be the paralysed device in order to take its place and receive the data intended for it.
You can use the Attack Detection function to change the standard firewall settings and arrange to be notified by email about any attempted hacker attacks.
ìIn the Advanced Settings – Internet – Firewall menu, select Attack Detection.
