Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR FVS114 ProSafe VPN Firewall.
Key Features of the VPN Firewall
The FVS114 ProSafe VPN Firewall with four-port switch connects your local area network (LAN)
to the Internet through an external access device such as a cable modem or DSL modem.
The FVS114 is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and intrusions.
Unlike simple Internet sharing firewalls that rely on Network Address Translation (NAT) for
security, the FVS114 uses stateful packet inspection for Denial of Service attack (DoS) protection
and intrusion detection. The FVS114 allows Internet access for up to 253 users. The FVS114 VPN
Firewall provides you with multiple Web content filtering options, plus browsing activity reporting
and instant alerts — both via e-mail. Parents and network administrators can establish restricted
access policies based on time-of-day, Web site addresses and address keywords, and share
high-speed cable/DSL Internet access for up to 253 personal computers. In addition to NAT, the
built-in firewall protects you from hackers.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the firewall within minutes.
The FVS114 VPN Firewall provides the following features:
• Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management.
• Content filtering and site blocking security.
• Built-in four-port 10/100 Mbps switch.
• Ethernet connection to a WAN device, such as a cable modem or DSL modem.
• Extensive protocol support.
• Login capability.
• Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.
• Flash memory for firmware upgrade.
