ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Reference Manual Table 4-3. Inbound Rules (continued) Item Bandwidth Profile Log Description 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 will be done on the available WAN interface in the single port and Auto-Failover modes. The limiting will be done on the user-specified interface in Load Balancing mode. The bandwidth limiting for inbound traffic will be done on the LAN interface for all WAN modes. Bandwidth Limiting will not apply to the DMZ interface. This determines 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. 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 the Acceptable Use Policy of your ISP. Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Only enable those ports that are necessary for your network. It is also advisable to turn on the server application security and invoke the user password or privilege levels, if provided. 4-8 Firewall Protection and Content Filtering v1.0, March 2009
