Figure 136 Firewall Chapter 17 Applications Ideally your firewall should have the following: • Stateful packet inspection to control access between the Internet and your network and protect your NAS (and computers) from hacking attacks. • IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) to detect malicious packets within normal network traffic and take immediate action against them. • Anti-virus to check files you download for computer viruses. P2P Download and Your Firewall The anti-virus feature on a firewall probably cannot check P2P downloads for viruses, so use antivirus software on your computer to scan the NAS for viruses. When you download using P2P download, many other P2P download users are also trying to download the file from you. The firewall slows this down because by default, it only allows traffic from the Internet in response to a request that originated on the LAN (it lets you get files from the Internet and blocks those on the Internet from getting files from you).
