Health Check –
Disable will not do Alive Indicator Check. By default health check is enable.

gateway of WAN interface if “Alive Indicator” input box is left blank.

Alive Indicator –
This is the IP address used to check if the WAN connection is operating. The
Dual WAN VPN Firewall
will contact this system to check if the WAN connection is working.
Change this address if you wish. Default is the gateway IP.
Note:
This is not used for PPPoE
connections.

MTU –
The Maximum Transmission Unit is used when determining the packet size to be used on
the WAN interface. Normally, this does not need to be changed, but if your ISP advises you to use a
