ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 FVS338 Reference Manual
Firewall Protection and Content Filtering 4-7
v1.0, January 2010
Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your VPN firewall. Only enable those
ports that are necessary for your network. It is also advisable to turn on the server application
security and invoke the user password or privilege levels, if provided.
Viewing the Firewall Rules
To view the firewall rules, select Security from the main menu and Firewall from the submenu.
The LAN WAN Rules screen will display (Figure 4-1 shows some examples).
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use
Policy of your ISP.
