[. . . ] This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world. Enable SPI: 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. NAT Endpoint Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports: Filtering: Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address of the outgoing connection. Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP address and port of the outgoing connection. Enable DMZ Host: If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains it’s IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change. d-Link DIR-857 User Manual 61 Section 3 - Configuration Application Level Gateway Configuration Here you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. PPTP: Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol. IPSEC (VPN): Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the system adminstrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal. RTSP: Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are some of the common applications using this protocol. SIP: Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off. [. . . ] The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP. Network conditions and environmental factors, M including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
