Billion BiPAC 7402R2 ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router Intrusion Detection The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
Page 68
Billion BiPAC 7402R2 ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING). For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot protect against such attacks.
Billion BiPAC 7402R2 ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router URL Filtering URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
Page 70
Billion BiPAC 7402R2 ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Domains Filtering: This function checks the domain name only, not the IP address, in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow.
Page 71
Billion BiPAC 7402R2 ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. Example: Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites.
