WAN Blocking prevents others on the WAN side from being able to ping your gateway. With WAN
Blocking enabled, your gateway will not respond to pings it receives, effectively ―hiding‖ your
gateway.
 Ipsec PassThrough enables IpSec type packets to pass WAN  LAN. IpSec (IP Security) is a
security mechanism used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
 PPTP PassThrough enables PPTP type packets to pass WAN  LAN. PPTP (Point to Point
Tunneling Protocol) is another mechanism sometimes used in VPNs.


the WAN side. Note that page access is limited to only those who know the gateway access password.

IP address of the gateway. For example, if the WAN IP address is 157.254.5.7, you would navigate to
http://157.254.5.7:8080
