2.5 Firewall

A firewall is a layer of security between the network and the Internet. Since a router is the main connection from a network to the Internet, the firewall function is merged into this device. Every network should have a firewall to protect its privacy.

There are 6 types of setting available under firewall.

• General Settings
• Port forwards
• Traffic Rules
• SNAT traffic Rules
• Parental Control
• Zone Forwarding

General Settings:

General settings are subdivided into 2 parts,

1.) General settings

In general settings, the settings that are made are default settings and can be changed according to user’s preference.

Specification details are below:

SN	Field Name	Sample Value	Description
1	Enable SYN-flood protection	Enabled	This is enabled by default; setting can be changed if required.
2	Disable IPV6	Disabled	This is enabled by default; setting can be changed if required.

6	Output	Reject/Accept	By default, the setting is ‘Reject’ but this needs to be changed to ‘Accept’ compulsory.
7	Forward	Reject/Accept	By default, the setting is ‘Reject’ but this needs to be changed to ‘Accept’ compulsory.

2.) Zone settings

In zone settings, there’s an option to add “New Zone”, according to user’s requirement.

Port Forwards:

Port forwarding is a feature in a router or gateway that allows external devices to access services on a private network.

It maps an external port on the router to an internal IP address and port on the local network, enabling applications such as gaming servers, web servers, or remote desktop connections to be accessed from outside the network.

This helps in directing incoming traffic to the correct device within a local network based on the port number, enhancing connectivity and accessibility.
