Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Inbound Rule Example: A Local Public Web Server If you host a public web server on your local network, you can define a rule to allow inbound web (HTTP) requests from any outside IP address to the IP address of your web server at any time of day.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Considerations for Inbound Rules • If your external IP address is assigned dynamically by your ISP, the IP address may change periodically as the DHCP lease expires. Consider using the Dyamic DNS feature in the Advanced menus so that external users can always find your network. • If the IP address of the local server PC is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the PC is rebooted.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Outbound Rule Example: Blocking Instant Messenger If you want to block Instant Messenger usage by employees during working hours, you can create an outbound rule to block that application from any internal IP address to any external address according to the schedule that you have created in the Schedule menu. You can also have the router log any attempt to use Instant Messenger during that blocked period.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Rules Menu Options Use the Options checkboxes to enable the following: • Enable VPN Passthrough (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP) If LAN users need to use VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software on their PC, and connect to remote sites or servers, enable this checkbox. This will allow the VPN protocols (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP) to be used. If this checkbox is not checked, these protocols are blocked.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Services Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, Web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Using a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic If you enabled content filtering in the Block Sites menu, or if you defined an outbound rule to use a schedule, you can set up a schedule for when blocking occurs or when access is restricted.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Note: Note: Enter the values as 24-hour time. For example, 10:30 am would be 10 hours and 30 minutes and 10:30 pm would be 22 hours and 30 minutes. Be sure to click Apply when you have finished configuring this menu. Time Zone The FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet.
Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Getting E-Mail Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts In order to receive logs and alerts by e-mail, you must provide your e-mail information in the E-Mail subheading: Figure 5-7: E-mail menu • Turn e-mail notification on.
