DSL-G624T Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate
users of a service from using that service. Examples include: attempts to "flood" a network, thereby
preventing legitimate network traffic, attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby
preventing access to a service, attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service, or,
attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person.
Port scan protection is designed to block attempts to discover vulnerable ports or services that might be
exploited in an attack from the WAN.
The Service Filtering options allow you to block FTP, Telnet response, Pings, etc, from the external network.
Check the category you want to block to enable filtering of that type of packet.
When you have selected the desired Firewall policies, click the
Apply
button to enforce the policies.
Remember to save any configuration changes.
