The Ping Test is used to send Ping packets to test if a computer is on the
Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping, and click
Ping
If you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI-524UP
will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide some extra
security from hackers.
The DI-524UP supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Se-
curity). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open
up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through
the DI-524UP. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the
LAN network.
