DSL/Cable Optimization
DSL/cable­based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher download bandwidth.
When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested, the download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be
able to download data at full speed until the uplink becomes less congested. D SL/Cable
Optimization can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed will become less
affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is enabled.
12.11 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN side (the Internet) and the
LAN side of the network. It can protect the local network from potential hacker attacks, access to
offensive websites, and/or other inappropriate uses.
The firewall functionality of Peplink Balance supports the selective filtering of data traffic in both
directions:
Outbound (LAN to WAN)
Inbound (WAN to LAN)
The firewall also supports the following functionality:
● Intrusion detection and DoS prevention
● Web blocking
With SpeedFusion TM enabled, the firewall rules also apply to VPN tunneled traffic. The Firewall function
can be found at N etwork>Firewall
12.11.1 Access Rules
The outbound firewall settings are located at N etwork>Firewall>Access Rules .
