CHAPTER 16 Firewall 16.1 Firewall Overview This chapter shows you how to enable and configure the Zyxel Device's security settings. Use the firewall to protect your Zyxel Device and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access to it. By default the firewall: • allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all other networks. • blocks traffic that originates on other networks from going to the LAN. The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4). Figure 120 Default Firewall Action 16.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • Use the General screen to configure the security level of the firewall on the Zyxel Device (Section 16.2 on page 199). • Use the Protocol screen to add or remove predefined Internet services and configure firewall rules (Section 16.3 on page 200). • Use the Access Control screen to view and configure incoming/outgoing filtering rules (Section 16.4 on page 202). • Use the DoS screen to activate protection against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks (.Section 16.5 on page 205).
