ProSAFE Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N 
Note:
Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run 
any server processes (such as a web or FTP server) from your 
location. Your ISP might periodically check for servers and might 
suspend your account if it discovers any active servers at your 
location. If you are unsure, see the acceptable use policy of your 
ISP.
Order of Precedence for Rules
As you define a new rule, it is added to a table in a Rules screen as the last item in the list, as 
shown in the following figure, which shows the LAN WAN Rules screen for IPv4 as an 
example:
Figure 63. 
Bandwidth Profile
Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from 
your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a 
solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus 
preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of 
the Internet link. For more information, see 
176. For inbound traffic, you can configure 
bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN WAN rule.
Note:
 
Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
