Application Level Gateway Configuration

Here you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work

with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs

for common applications are enabled by default.

Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol.

Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through NAT.

This ALG may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning

this ALG off. Please check with the system adminstrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal.

Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are

some of the common applications using this protocol.

Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the

ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are having trouble

making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off.
