Item Description
Log Specifies whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired action:

Bandwidth Bandwidth Limiting determines the way in which the data is sent to/from your host. The
Profile purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a solution for limiting the outgoing/incoming
traffic, thus preventing the LAN users for consuming all the bandwidth of our internet link.
Bandwidth Limiting for outbound traffic will be done on the available WAN interface in the
single port and Auto-Failover modes. The limiting will be done on the user-specified
interface in Load Balancing mode. The bandwidth limiting for inbound traffic will be done
on the LAN interface for all WAN modes. See
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use
Policy of your ISP.
Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Enable only those
ports that are necessary for your network. We also recommend enabling the server's application
security and configuring user password or privilege levels, if provided.
