The  Ping  Test  is  used  to 
send  Ping  packets  to  test 
if a computer is on the In-
ternet. 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-624 will not respond 
to pings. Blocking the Ping 
may  provide  some  extra 
security from hackers.
The  DI-624  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-624. This is useful when you have 
many VPN clients on the LAN network.
Click Reboot to restart the 
DI-624.
Click Enabled to block  the
