A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FVS336G is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection (SPI) to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

Automatically detects and thwarts denial of service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death and SYN Flood.

Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.

Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

Prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. You can control access to Internet content by screening for Web services, Web addresses, and keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the firewall to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.

Permits scheduling of firewall policies by day and time.

Logs security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the firewall to email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the firewall to send immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.
