Firewall Settings - D-Link DIR-615/T User Manual

Section 3 - Coniguration
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The DIR-615 offers a firewall type functionality. The Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) feature helps prevent malicious attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world
for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This option
will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.
Enable SPI: SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering)
helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking the state of packets traveling
across the network. It validates that the traffic passing through the
session conforms to the protocol.
Enable Anti-Spoof
Enable this option to provide protection from certain kinds of
Checking: "spoofing" attacks.
Enable DMZ Host:
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can
expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that
computer. Check the Enable DMZ box to place a computer in the DMZ.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to
a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended for
experienced users who understand the associated risks.
IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains
its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static
reservation on the System > Network Settings page so that the IP
address of the DMZ machine does not change.
