ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run
any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your
location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may
suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your
location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP Acceptable Use Policy.
Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Enable only
those ports that are necessary for your network. We also recommend enabling the server’s
application security and configuring user password or privilege levels, if provided.
LAN users This field appears only with NAT routing (not classical routing). Specifies which
computers on your network are affected by this rule. Select the desired options:
• Any – All PCs and devices on your LAN.
• Single address – Enter the required address and the rule will be applied to
that particular PC.
• Address range – If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish
fields.
• Groups – Select the Group to which this rule will apply. Use the LAN Groups
screen (under Network Configuration) to assign PCs to Groups. See
“Managing Groups and Hosts (LAN Groups)” on page 34.
WAN Users Specifies which Internet locations are covered by the rule, based on their IP
addresses. Select the desired option:
• Any – All Internet IP address are covered by this rule.
• Single address – Enter the required address in the start field.
• Address range – If this option is selected, you must enter the start and end
fields.
Log Specifies whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired
action:
• Always – Always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or
not. This is useful when debugging your rules.
• Never – Never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth Limiting determines the way in which the data is sent to/from your
host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a solution for limiting the
outgoing/incoming traffic, thus preventing the LAN users for consuming all the
bandwidth of our Internet link. Bandwidth Limiting for outbound traffic is done on
the available WAN interface in the single port and Auto-Failover modes. The
limiting is done on the user-specified interface in Load Balancing mode. The
bandwidth limiting for inbound traffic is done on the LAN interface for all WAN
modes. See “Creating Bandwidth Profiles” on page 59.
