ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3
Inbound Rules — Port Forwarding
The VPN firewall has a default inbound LAN WAN rule, which blocks all access from outside
except responses to requests from the LAN side.
If you have enabled Network Address Translation (NAT), your network presents one IP
address only to the Internet, and outside users cannot directly access any of your local
computers (LAN users). For information about configuring NAT, see
Network Address
Translation Overview on page 30. However, by defining an inbound rule you can make a local
server (for example, a web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. The
Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from
your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a
solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus
preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of the
Internet link. For more information, see Manage Bandwidth
Profiles for IPv4 Traffic on page 301. For outbound traffic, you can
configure bandwidth limiting only on the WAN interface for a LAN
WAN rule.
Note: When you enable a bandwidth profile, the performance of
the VPN firewall might be affected slightly.
Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
IPv4 LAN WAN rules
Log The setting that determines whether packets covered by this rule
are logged. The options are as follows:
• Always. Always log traffic that matches this rule. This is useful
when you are debugging your rules.
• Never. Never log traffic that matches this rule.
All rules
NAT IP The setting that specifies whether the source address of the
outgoing packets on the WAN is autodetected, is assigned the
address of the WAN interface, or is a different IP address. You can
specify these settings only for outbound traffic of the WAN
interface. The options are as follows:
• Auto. The source address of the outgoing packets is
autodetected through the configured routing and load
balancing rules.
• WAN Interface Address. All the outgoing packets on the
WAN are assigned to the address of the specified WAN
interface.
• Single Address. All the outgoing packets on the WAN are
assigned to the specified IP address, for example, a
secondary WAN address that you have configured.
Note: The NAT IP menu is available only when the WAN mode is
NAT.
Note: If you select Single Address from the NAT IP menu, the IP
address specified must fall under the WAN subnet.
