NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
Without port triggering, the response from the external application would be treated as a new
connection request rather than a response to a request from the LAN network. As such, it
would be handled in accordance with the inbound port forwarding rules and most likely would
be blocked.
Note these restrictions on port triggering:
•
Only one computer can use a port triggering application at any time.
•
After a computer finishes using a port triggering application, a short time-out period
passes before the application can be used by another computer. This time-out period is
required so the VPN firewall can determine that the application terminates.
Note:
For additional ways of allowing inbound traffic, see
Inbound Rules
on
page 130.
