Stealth mode in Driver mode (default setting)
Figure 9-3 Driver mode: Stealth mode
In Stealth mode, the mGuard behaves like a normal network card.
The IP address that is configured for the network interface of the operating system (LAN
port) is also used by the mGuard for its WAN port. This means that the mGuard does not
appear as a separate device with its own address for data traffic to and from the computer.
In Stealth mode, PPPoE and PPTP cannot be used.
Router mode in Driver mode
Figure 9-4 Driver mode: Router mode
If the mGuard is in Router mode (or PPPoE or PPTP mode), it essentially creates its own
network with the operating system of the computer in which the mGuard is installed.
