Management of Inbound Access from WAN
When operating under NAT mode, PePLink Balance acts as a firewall that blocks, by default,
all inbound access from the Internet.
By the custom definition of servers and services for inbound access, Internet users can
access the servers behind PePLink Balance. Advanced configurations allow inbound access
to be distributed among multiple servers on the LAN.
Important Note
Inbound access management applies only to WAN connections that operate under NAT
mode. For WAN connections that operate under drop-in mode or IP forwarding, inbound
traffic is forwarded to the LAN by default.
