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 otherwise known at attack 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.
