Snooze
The snooze feature allows you to temporarily disable the firewall for a set amount of time so outside
support personnel can access your Router or network or so you can run an application that conflicts with
the firewall.
Note
:
Important!
This function is recommended for use only when you require this special
level of unrestricted access as it leaves your Router and network exposed to the Internet with no firewall
protection.
