Enable DoS

Firewall

If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be detected and

blocked. The default is enabled. It is strongly recommended that this

setting be left enabled.

Note:

•

A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs,

but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the

service is unavailable.

• This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can

detect situations where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but

collectively they become a DoS attack.

Threshold

This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.

•

A "half-open" connection arises when a remote client contacts the

Server with a connection request, but then does not reply to the

Server's response.

• While the optimum number of "half-open" connections allowed

(the "Threshold") depends on many factors, the most important

factor is the available bandwidth of your Internet connection.

•

Select the setting to match the bandwidth of your Internet

connection.
