Connect Automatically, as Required

Normally, this option should be enabled, so that an Internet connection will be made automatically,
whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this causes high connection costs, you can disable
this setting.
If disabled, you must connect manually, using the sub-screen accessed from the "Connection
Status" button on the Status screen.
If you have an "Always on" connection, this setting has no effect.

Disable Port Scan and DOS Protection

The Firewall protects your LAN against Port Scans and Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. This
should be disabled only in special circumstances.
