Firewall; Incoming Access - SnapGear VPN Router User Manual

The SnapGear VPN Router comes with a full featured, stateful firewall. The firewall allows you to control
both incoming and outgoing access and to detect intrusion attempts, so that PCs on the office network can
be provided with tailored Internet access facilities and are shielded from malicious attacks. The SnapGear
Firewall filters packets at the network layer, determines whether session packets are legitimate and
evaluates contents of packets at the application layer thus providing maximum protection for your private
network.

Incoming Access

Clicking Incoming Access on the Firewall menu will take you to the Incoming Access
configuration page, where you can configure the firewall to control external access to services
provided by the SnapGear VPN router itself as well as services provided by machines on your local
network.
