DoS Protection

On the Functions / Firewall / DoS Protection page, you can configure protection against DoS
attacks of different types.
DoS (Denial of Service) attacks are network attacks during which the router and devices connected
to it are flooded with more requests than they can handle, which leads to significant reduce of
performance or even their malfunction.
To enable protection against DoS attacks, move the Enable switch to the right. Upon that the Per-
source IP Flood and Other Settings sections are displayed on the page.
In the Per-source IP Flood section you can enable protection against main types of DoS attacks.
