D.6 Inbound Access Restriction
D.6.1 Scenario
A firewall is required in order to protect the network from potential hacker attacks and
other Internet security threats.
D.6.2 Solution
Firewall functionality is built into the Peplink Balance. By default, inbound access is
unrestricted. Enabling a basic level of protection involves setting up firewall rules.
For example, in order to protect your private network from external access, you can set
up a firewall rule between the Internet and your private network. To do so, navigate to
Advanced>Firewall>Access Rules. Then click the Add Rule button in the Inbound
Firewall Rules table and change the settings according to the following screenshot:
After the fields have been entered as in the screenshot, click Save to add the rule.
Afterwards, change the default inbound rule to Deny by clicking the default rule in the
Inbound Firewall Rules table. Click Apply Changes on the top right corner to
complete the process.
