•Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

•Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

•Multi-DMZ.For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are in- compatible with Firewalls.
