Networking - Firewall

This security device shields your network from the Internet. A firewall,
working closely with a router, examines each network packet to
determine whether to forward it toward its destination. The router
allows further customization of this packet sniffing by allowing you to
modify how and what can or cannot enter the router.

Additionally, the position of the rule within the table determines the
priority of the rule. For example, the first rule in the table applies, then
the second, etc. If the first rule deletes a ‘bad’ packet of information,
then the remaining rules are not invoked.

Multicast Pass-through is typically used for work-related activities,
such as video conferencing access.

To access the screen, click Networking > Firewall. Click Apply to
save your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
