Protocol handling

Alvin
Enable TCP Window scaling [UNchecked]
Use strict TCP session handling [Checked]
Validate packet length [STRICT]

The default is Unchecked for all if I recall correctly.

Is the above the most secure setting?

Just trying to Maximize all the settings and learn along the way.

    Most secure, yes.
    Also highest chance of problems with applications.

    If you're running public webservers you probably don't want strict TCP sessions; a lot of browsers and http servers take shortcuts with TCP sessions, which will slow down your site and fill up Astaro's logs.

    I am not running any servers thus should leave it ON.

    Enable TCP Window scaling, should I enable it ?

    I read the help file about transport protocols, I use a cable modem, no idea does that apply to me.
