◆ Protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable offers comprehensive security measures such as:
–
Firewall
All the PC's in the local network use the router's Public IP address for their Internet
connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The router only allows
access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local network.
– With its firewall, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable also offers comprehensive
protection from attack by hackers.
◆ Offering your own services on the Internet
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the
router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network.
– DMZ
This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from
the Internet without compromising the security of the other PC's.
◆ Restricting Internet access
You can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that Internet access is blocked or
limited for various users. You can also use filters to control which PC's are able to use
which Internet services, and you can disable access to certain Internet domains and
sites.
