Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services

The modem router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet-based content and

screening for keywords within Web addresses. Content filtering options include:

Keyword blocking of HTTP traffic.

Outbound service blocking. Limits access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that
you specify as off-limits.

Denial of service (DoS) protection. Detects and thwarts denial of service (DoS) attacks such as
