◆ Protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
The Gigaset Router offers comprehensive security measures such as:
–
Firewall with prevention of hacker attacks (e. g. SPI , DoS attacks )
Emails will be sent to notify you about any attacks on your network.
– NAT firewall
If Network Address Translation (NAT) has been activated, all the PCs on the local
network connect to the Internet using the router's Public IP address and as such
are not visible on the Internet themselves. The router permits access from the
Internet only if it has been requested from the local network.
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the
router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network.
– DMZ
This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from
the Internet without undermining the security of the other PCs.
◆ Protection for the users of the local network, e. g. parental control
You can configure the Gigaset Router so that Internet access is blocked or limited for
various users. You can set time-based rules or specify that certain services or
Internet pages cannot be requested.
