Characteristics |
- Port Block: this option allows control over which ports in your server will be open or closed, preventing any software intruder access to your information.
- Broadband Administration: You can assign the broadband required for each user depending on their needs.
- NAT (Network Address Translation): This firewall allows you to hide the addresses of the servers in your network, guaranteeing that viruses and people who would try to break into your information will not be able to.
- Connection Monitoring: You will have immediate information on traffic to and from your network. This means that you will know who is trying to open a site on the Internet that has no relation to your company, for example: a pornography site or a page that could introduce spy software or viruses into your network...this is very useful to determine who in the company is trying to enter any of these sites. It also serves to determine which link in the network has a connection problem
- VPN (Virtual Private Network): Allows creation of a virtual network within your company using an encripting system and other security mechanisms, insuring that only authorized personnel have access. This offers your data a high level of security and is one of the most important reasons to install a firewall in your network.
- DHCP: Allows supervision and centralized distribution of necessary IP addresses and automatically assigns a new IP address if the computer is connected in a different location than the network. DHCP includes three methods for assigning IP addresses:
- Wireless Control (Access Point): The Firewall can be converted to an access point for a wireless network.
- Proxy Server Control: Acts as a server for security and as a contents filter, to deactivate access or filter requests for content of certain Websites, considered offensive or hurtful for the Network and the Users. It also saves in the memory the cached Web pages that access the network systems for a period of time. When the system requests the same Web page, the proxy server uses the information saved in the cached memory instead of recovering it from the contents provider. In this way, Web pages are accessed more quickly.
- Filters: By using the Firewall, you can block access to Internet sites either by address or based on their contents.
