Inbound Rules Examples - NETGEAR SRXN3205 - ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall Wireless Router Reference Manual

For example, if a VPN Client or Gateway on the LAN side of this firewall wants to connect to
another VPN endpoint on the WAN (placing this firewall between two VPN end points),
encrypted packets are sent to this firewall. Since this firewall filters the encrypted packets
through NAT, the packets become invalid unless VPN pass through is enabled.
When VPN pass through is enabled, the VPN tunnel will pass the VPN traffic without any
filtering. Tunnels can be: IPsec; PPTP; or L2TP
To enable the appropriate Attack Checks for your environment:
1. Select Security > Firewall from the main/submenu.
2. Click the Attack Checks tab and the Attack Checks screen displays.
Figure 5-4
3. Select the Attack Checks you wish to initiate, and click Apply to save your settings
