  • Page 15: Introduction

    Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL Barricade referred to as the “Barricade”. We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution.

    NTRODUCTION • Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT • NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet) •...
  • Page 17 • Shared IP Address The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time. • Virtual Server If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation.
  • Page 18 NTRODUCTION • Virtual Private Network (VPN) The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols — PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).

  • Page 100 ONFIGURING THE ARRICADE • Stateful Packet Inspection This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication.
