Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services
The router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet-based content and communications
services. With its content filtering feature, the router prevents objectionable content from reaching
your PCs. You can control access to Internet content by 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
