Firewall Settings - D-Link DIR-816L User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The DIR-816L 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 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
more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing
through the session conforms to the protocol.
Enable Anti-Spoof
Enable this feature to protect your network from certain
Checking:
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 allow unrestricted Internet access. If this computer
obtains it's 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.
