Firewall Security Level
Select the level of firewall security level here, by clicking in the appropriate radio but-
ton. NAT Only provides no firewall security, while Low, Medium, and High provide
different levels of security, as displayed in the Firewall table in the lower part of the

box to delete a check mark) selected Internet services listed in the Firewall table.

Port Forwarding

Activating Port Forwarding allows the network to be exposed to the Internet in
certain limited and controlled ways, enabling some applications to work from the
local network (game, voice, and chat applications, for example), as well as allowing
Internet access to servers in the local network. Click Port Forwarding from any
Firewall screen to generate the Port Forwarding screen. This screen allows you to
configure the port forwarding settings of the Gateway. If you make changes in this
screen, click Apply at the bottom of the screen to save them.
