Does the Router function as a firewall?
Yes. The Router provides its security through the use of
NAT
firewall, which acts
as a physical barrier between your network and the Internet.
What is NAT and how does it protect my network?
NAT
(
N

T
ranslation) is a type of security that masks the private
IP
addresses of the computers on your network with a single public
IP
address.
With
NAT
, the private
IP
address of the computers on your network is never
transmitted over the Internet.
Which Virtual Private Networking (VPN) protocols are supported?
The Router supports pass-through for
PPTP
,
L2TP
, and
IPS
ec.
Can I use Internet firewall or security programs with my network?
Because the Router uses
NAT
firewall security, it is not necessary to use any
other program for security. The use of third-party firewall or Internet security
software is not recommended, since certain programs create problems on a pri-
vate network (BlackIce Defender, Norton Internet Security, and ZoneAlarm, for
example).
