Blocking Sites
The wireless router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet-based content and
communications services. With its content filtering feature, the wireless router prevents
objectionable content from reaching your PCs. The wireless router allows you to control access to
Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. You can use key content
filtering to do the following:
• Use keywords to block HTTP traffic.
• Use outbound service blocking to limit access from your LAN to Internet locations or services
that you specify as off-limits.
• Use denial of service (DoS) protection to automatically detect and thwart DoS attacks such as
Ping of Death, SYN flood, LAND Attack, and IP spoofing.
• Block unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
The following sections in this chapter explain how to configure your wireless router to perform
these functions.
