Firewall Configuration; Viewing The Firewall Status - HP R110 Configuration And Administration Manual

9 Firewall configuration

Your router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of
common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. You can turn the firewall
function off, if needed. Turning off the firewall protection will not leave your network completely
vulnerable to hacker attacks, but HP recommends that you leave the firewall enabled whenever
possible.
In addition to the extensive firewall protection, the router can block access to the Internet from
clients on the local network based on IP addresses, MAC addresses, or network service. The
router can also block access to specific websites or web page content.
