The Ping Test is used to send Ping packets to test if a computer is on the
Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping, and click Ping
If you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI-524
will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide some extra
security from hackers.
The DI-524 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for
both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Security).
Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open up virtual
services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through the DI-524.
This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the LAN network.
