Firewall: Snooze Control
The snooze feature allows you to bypass the firewall for a set amount of time so outside support personnel can
access your gateway or network, or so you can run an application that conflicts with the firewall. This function
is recommended for use only when you require this special level of unrestricted access as it leaves your
gateway and network exposed to the Internet with no firewall protection.

1. Select
