Description
MTU settings (MTU = Maximum Transfer Unit - in Bytes)
This will allow others to ping the host. It is good for
debugging but it can be asecurity hazard!
Enabling this will allow one PC on the LAN to act as if it
bypasses the firewall completely and has a direct con-
nection to the internet (Attention: An exposed host is
computer that virtually has a direct connection to the
internet. This is a big security risk, not only to this com-
puter but to the whole LAN!).
Exposed host IP address.
This will enable you to set the MAC address of the WAN
connection so it matches the address your ISP authenti-
cates by.
This is the MAC address your WAN port will be cloned to.
