Table 4-2. Inbound Rules (continued)
Item Description
Log Specifies whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired action:
• Always – Always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. This
• Never – Never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
Bandwidth Profile Specifies the name of a bandwidth limiting profile. Using a bandwidth profile,
bandwidth consumed by different connections can be limited. If multiple connections
correspond to the same firewall rule, they will share the same bandwidth limiting. See
"Configuring a Bandwidth Profile" on page
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use
Policy of your ISP.
Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Enable only those
ports that are necessary for your network. We also recommend enabling the server's application
security and configuring user password or privilege levels, if provided.
