The Ping Test is used to
send Ping packets to test if
a c o m p u t e r is o n t h e
Internet. Enter the IP Ad-
dress that you wish to Ping,
and click
Ping
If you choose to block WAN
Ping, the WAN IP Address of
the DI-624+ will not respond
to pings. Blocking the Ping
may provide some extra se-
curity from hackers.
The DI-624+ supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP
Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need
to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be
made through the DI-624+. This is useful when you have many
VPN clients on the LAN network.

Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing IP Address. This is a useful feature since many
computers do not use a static IP address.
