This section contains the settings for a filter set called Basic Firewall, which is par t of the Netopia R5000
Series Router’s factor y configuration.
Basic Firewall blocks undesirable traffic originating from the WAN (in most cases, the Internet), but for wards all
traffic originating from the LAN. It follows the conser vative “that which is not expressly permitted is prohibited”
approach: unless an incoming packet expressly matches one of the constituent input filters, it will not be
for warded to the LAN.
