Firewall
The IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router provides extensive Firewall protection by restricting
connection parameters to limit the risk of hacker attacks and by defending against a wide
array of common hacker attacks.
The IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router provides packet filtering rules by restricting service
ports, IP address or MAC address. However, for applications that require unrestricted
access to the Internet, you may configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone
(DMZ)
9.1 Block WAN Ping
When "Discard PING from WAN side" is checked, it causes the public WAN IP address on
the IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router to ignore ping commands. Pinging public WAN IP
addresses is a common method used by hackers to test whether the WAN IP address is
valid.
