Firewall
Enable DoS
Firewall If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be
detected and blocked. The default is enabled. It is
strongly recommended that this setting be left
enabled.
Note:
❏ A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or
damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet
connection so you can not use it - the service is
unavailable.
❏ This device uses “Stateful Inspection”
technology. This system can detect situations
where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but
collectively they become a DoS attack.
