Configuring Firewall Settings

Objective
To configure firewall settings in a way that special applications running on computers inside your
home network are granted Internet access.
To grant internet access to special applications, you need to open firewall pinholes and associate
the intended application(s) with a computer connected to your gateway. If you cannot find a listing
for your application, you can define an application with the protocol and port information. Also, you
can delete the application profile you have saved. By default, firewall provides maximum protection
and blocks unsolicited inbound traffic.
Steps
1. Navigate to Settings > Firewall > Applications, Pinholes and DMZ. The Allow device
application traffic to pass through firewall page appears.
