Block WAN Ping 
When you “Block WAN Ping”, you are causing the public WAN IP address 
on the Broadband Router to not respond to ping commands. Pinging 
public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to test 
whether your WAN IP address is valid. 
Discard PING from WAN side: By enabling this option, the DI-604 will not 
reply to ping (ICMP) request packets from the Internet.
 
VPN Pass-Through 
The Broadband Router 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 Broadband Router. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on 
the LAN network. 
 
SPI Mode 
When this feature is enabled, the router will record the packet 
information pass through the router like IP address, port address, ACK, 
SEQ number and so on. And the router will check every incoming packet 
to detect if this packet is valid. 
UPnP 
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play which is a networking 
architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, 
software, and peripherals. The DI-604 is a UPnP enabled router and will 
only work with other UPnP devices/softwares. If you do not want to use 
the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled by selecting "Disabled".   
VPN Pass-Through 
The device 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 device. This is useful 
when you have many VPN clients on the local area network.
