The Barricade Plus' firewall can provide the access control of connected client PCs, block common
hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,
UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not
significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network

• MAC Filtering
The MAC Filtering feature of the Barricade allows you to control access to your network

each network adapter. If the MAC address is listed in the table, that client machine will have
access to the network.
