Firewall Settings

This screen is an advanced configuration screen. It allows you to set the level of security you wish to have on your local network. All security levels except “None” protect against known Internet attacks and devices that attempt to gain remote access to your Router. The following settings are displayed.

 

Firewall Settings

High

This security level only allows basic Internet functionality. Only Mail, News,

 

Web, FTP, and IPSEC are allowed. No other traffic is allowed. Another

 

restriction of high security is that it can’t be modified by NAT configuration

 

options. With High security, you are guaranteed to only pass the previously

 

mentioned traffic.

Medium

This security level only allows basic Internet functionality by default. Like High

 

security, Medium security, allows customization through NAT configuration, so

 

you can enable the traffic that you want to pass.

Low

The low security setting will allow all traffic except for known attacks. With

 

low security, your Router is visible by other computers on the Internet.

Custom

Custom is a very advanced configuration option that allows you to edit the

 

firewall configuration directly. Only the most expert users should try this.
