Firewall Settings - D-Link DIR-860L User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The DIR-860L offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps
prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications.
If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This option will expose the chosen computer
completely to the outside world.
Enable SPI:
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering)
helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking the state of each session. It
validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the
protocol.
Anti-Spoof Check:
Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of
"spoofing" attacks.
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.
DMZ IP Address:
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its IP
address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation
on the Setup > Network.Settings page so that the IP address of the
DMZ machine does not change.
PPTP:
Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate
network using PPTP protocol.
IPSEC (VPN):
Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using
IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through NAT. This
Application-level Gateway (ALG) may interfere with the operation of
such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the
system administrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal.
