Configuring Client Services

The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway includes a broad range of client services,
including firewall protection, network address translation, virtual server, connection
support for special applications, and restricted Internet access for specified clients.
You can configure these functions using the Setup Wizard by clicking “Enter” at the
bottom of the Advanced Settings screen, or by selecting specific items from the
menu on the left of the screen.

Firewall Protection

The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway’s firewall can block common hacker attacks,
including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,
UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The
firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it
enabled to protect your network users.
