8. Setting up port forwarding rules

The Conceptronic C150APRA2 is equipped with a built-in firewall to prevent attacks from the Internet on

your network. This firewall automatically blocks all incoming traffic on unused ports. When a blocked port

is needed for a service or application (for example: a FTP or WEB server) you can create a port forwarding

rule in the configuration pages to forward the traffic.

Note: The Conceptronic C150APRA2 supports Universal Plug & Play (UPnP), which makes it possible for

UPnP compatible applications and devices such as game consoles to automatically open the ports

they need so no manual configuration is needed. However, UPnP also makes your network

environment more vulnerable for attacks. If you use applications which are using UPnP, you can
