IPSec VPN Capability
Establish Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels to connect (home) office computers to your company
network using data encryption and the Internet; thus providing secure communications without the expense
of leased site-to-site lines. The router’s VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with
other IPSec-based VPN products.

Firewall
The Prestige has a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the
firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the
LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and protection, real time alerts,
reports and logs.
