A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering
Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FVS318G is a true firewall, using stateful packet
inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:
•
DoS protection. Automatically detects and thwarts DoS attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN
Flood, LAND Attack, and IP Spoofing.
•
Secure Firewall. Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
•
Block Sites. Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as
off-limits.
•
Logs security incidents. The FVS318G will log security events such as blocked incoming
traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the VPN firewall to
email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the VPN firewall to send
immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event
occurs.
