4.1 Main Firewall Features
The X5v’s (DoS) Denial of Service firewall features are grouped
together in the top section, under Advanced Options. These DoS
features mean that the X5v provides protection from a potentially
devastating attack on your computer. Such attacks can overwhelm
and shut down a computer or a server. The X5v’s DoS features are
grouped together as follows:
• Protection Policy
• Hacker Log
• Service Filtering.
