19 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN side (the
Internet) and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the local network from potential
hacker attacks, access to offensive websites, and/or other inappropriate uses.
The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers supports the selective filtering of data
traffic in both directions:
 Outbound (LAN to WAN)
 Inbound (WAN to LAN)
T
he firewall also supports the following functionality:
 Intrusion detection and DoS prevention
 Web blocking
With SpeedFusion
TM
