Below is an example setting for a WEB server on an Internet connection, where port 80 is blocked
from the WAN side, but port 8000 is available.
Name:
Web Server
Type:
TCP
LAN Server IP: 192.168.0.100
Remote IPs:
Any (allow access to any public IP)
Public Port:
8000
Private Port:
80
With this configuration, all HTTP (Web) TCP traffic on port 8000 from any IP Address from the
WAN side will be redirected through the firewall to the Internal Server (192.168.0.100) on port 80.
NOTE: This configuration is useful because you don't have to reconfigure your web server to
accept traffic on a different port, you can do this configuration on the Gateway.
FIREWALL
The Gateway provides a stateful inspection firewall (SPI), which is designed to protect against
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Its purpose is to allow a private local area network (LAN) to be
securely connected to the Internet. To provide a flexible solution, the firewall section has the
following features:
Firewall Enable/Disable
To access the Security Settings configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Firewall]
link.
To enable this feature, check the [Enable Firewall Module] checkbox.
Access Control
The Access Control section allows the user to block services on the private LAN from accessing the
Internet. Access Rules can be configured to a specific LAN IP Address or a range of LAN IP
Address's.
To access the Access Control configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Firewall]
link and then click on the [Access Control] link.
To enable this feature, check the [Enable Access Control] checkbox.
