  • Page 45 XH1151 – DSE Broadband Router IPSec – IP Security IPSec provides a more secure network-to-network connection across the Internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN). IPSec encrypts all communication between the client and server whereas PPTP only encrypts the data packets. Both of these VPN implementations are used because there is not a standard for VPN server software.
  • Page 46 DMZ Host– De-Militarized Zone Host The DMZ is the portion of a private network that is visible through the network's firewalls. The DMZ Host allows a local computer to be exposed to the Internet. Therefore, an incoming packet will be checked by Firewall and NAT algorithms in the router, then passed to the DMZ host when the packet is not sent by a hacker and is not limited by Virtual Server list.
