Model FVS328 ProSafe VPN Firewall with Dial Back-up Reference Manual • DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the firewall provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The firewall obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN. • PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer. • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol PPTP login support for European ISPs and BigPond login for Telstra cable in Australia. • Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when your IP address is not permanently assigned. The firewall contains a client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address. See "Configuring Dynamic DNS" on page 5-6. Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the FVS328 within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks: • Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your firewall from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. • Smart Wizard The firewall automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account. • Remote management The firewall allows you to login to the Web Management Interface from a remote location via the Internet using secure SLL protocol. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses, and you can choose a nonstandard port number. 2-4 Introduction May 2004, 202-10031-01
