A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-660 offers a firewall type functionality.
Enable SPI:
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per
session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
NAT Endpoint
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Filtering:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port
will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port
will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address
of the outgoing connection.
Address and Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the
IP address and port of the outgoing connection.
Anti-Spoof
Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of
Checking:
"spoofing" attacks.
Enable DMZ Host:
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on
that computer. Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose
that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only
recommended as a last resort.
IP Address:
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains
it's IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static
reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of
the DMZ machine does not change.
Non-UDP/TCP/ICMP
Enable this feature to allow the router' NAT to track application that uses protocols other than UDP, TCP or ICMP.
