Firewall - A firewall protects your network from the outside world. Here you can 

enable or disable the Router’s firewall.

SPI Firewall - SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet 

filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It 

validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol. 

SPI Firewall is enabled by factory default. If you want all the computers on the 

LAN exposed to the outside world, you can disable it.

VPN - VPN Passthrough must be enabled if you want to allow VPN tunnels using 

IPSec, PPTP, or L2TP protocols to pass through the Router’s firewall.

PPTP Passthrough - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the 

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. To allow 

PPTP tunnels to pass through the Router, keep the default, Enabled.  

z

 

L2TP Passthrough - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is the method used to 

enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the Layer 2 level. To allow 

L2TP tunnels to pass through the Router, keep the default, Enabled.
