  • Page 44: Firewall

    CradlePoint MBR1000 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.9 5.3 Firewall Use the Firewall sub-menu to protect your network from the outside world. The MBR1200 provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to public Internet view.
  • Page 45 CradlePoint MBR1000 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.9  Port And Address Restricted. The NAT does not forward any incoming connection requests with the same port address as an already establish connection. NOTE: Some of these options can interact with other port restrictions. Endpoint Independent Filtering takes priority over inbound filters or schedules, so it is possible for an incoming session request related to an outgoing session to enter through a port in spite of an active inbound filter on that port.
  • Page 46 CradlePoint MBR1000 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.9 Enable DMZ. 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.
  • Page 47 CradlePoint MBR1000 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.9 Check with the system administrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal. Note that L2TP VPN connections typically use IPSec to secure the connection. To achieve multiple VPN pass-through in this case, the IPSec ALG must be enabled.
