u Address translation for your Internet connection turned off
The clients in the network are not protected against unauthorised access via the
Internet. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "Setting
up the NAT function" on page 65.
u One or more of your local clients directly exposed to the Internet
At least one client in the network is directly visible on the Internet as an exposed host
and is therefore particularly exposed to the risk (e.g. through hacker attacks). Only
activate this function if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and
other functions (e.g. Port forwarding) are not suitable. In this case, you should take
the appropriate measures on the clients concerned. Information on how to avoid
this security risk is given in Section "Opening the firewall for selected PCs (Exposed
Host)" on page 69.
