Firewall?????

jcargile over 15 years ago

Just curious....
How can this be considered a 'Firewall' if all security features are disabled? [:S]

Hi,
The PacketFilter, NAT, Masq, etc. features are all there, so it IS a firewall.

It is not a UTM device, however, without the IPS and AV features.

Ok... I just thought that 'Intrusion Prevention' was the main function of a firewall.
Still a nice product.

The main function of a firewall is to allow, drop or reject packets from a source to a destination. That is the packetfilter-feature.
