5.2 Firewall

Introduction
The Gateway comes with an integrated firewall that helps you protect your network from attacks from the
Internet. This firewall has a number of predefined levels to allow you to adjust the firewall to your needs.
The default Firewall setting is Minimum Security (Low). This means that all traffic passing through the
Gateway (from and to the Internet) is allowed.
Predefined security levels
The Gateway has a number of predefined security levels. The following levels are available:

Maximum Security (High):
Blocks all the applications including IP-driven voice applications (such as Gtalk, Skype) and P2P
applications. Allows Internet browsing, email, VPN, DNS and iTunes services.
Although BlockAll will block all connections, some mandatory types of traffic such as DNS will still be
relayed between LAN and WAN by the Gateway.

Typical Security (Medium):
Blocks P2P applications and Ping to the Gateway, allows all other traffic.

Minimum Security (Low):
Allows all secure applications. This is the default configuration.
The firewall levels only have impact on traffic passing through your Gateway. This means that the
handling of traffic directly appointed from and to the Gateway is independent of the selected firewall level.

Custom Security:
Allows you to create your own security level.
Changing the security level
Proceed as follows:
1. Go to the Admin Tool (http://10.1.10.1), using a computer or device that is currently connected to your
Gateway (either wired or wirelessly). For more information, see
