- General Settings
- Port forwards
- Traffic Rules
- SNAT traffic Rules
- Parental Control
- Zone Forwarding
General Setting
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.) 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.
