SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per
session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Endpoint.Independent.- Any incoming traffic sent to an open port
will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port
will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address.Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address
of the outgoing connection.
Address.+.Port.Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP
address and port of the outgoing connection.
Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of
“spoofing” attacks.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only
recommended as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this
computer obtains it’s IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the Setup > Network.
Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The DIR-825 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature
helps prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of
applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option
will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.
