[Security] Firewall on BEFW11S4 ? in Linksys http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r9879426 en Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:45:00 EDT Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:45:00 EDT Re: [Security] Firewall on BEFW11S4 ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9880792 Esquire4 : Thanks RDHW.

I am aware of the protection offered by NAT. I was hoping for a little bit more by asking the question - your reply to which implied the answer already.

Thanks again.

so it doesn't have any protection whatsoever?
On the contrary, it has all the protection that any NAT router has: all unsolicited incoming connection attempts will be binned, except for the ones that you have explicitly port-forwarded.

Not any longer. The older firmware had a SPI firewall but it didn't work very well and was discontinued.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9879491 Mon, 05 Apr 2004 01:52:58 EDT [Security] Firewall on BEFW11S4 ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9879426 Esquire4 : I was trying to help configure a BEFW11S4 802.11b router and I couldn't find the firewall settings in the firmware to check if it is enabled, and I couldn't locate any reference to it in the manual.

Does it actually have a firewall?

Thanks.
