Security Profiles

The Internet Gate uses security profiles to store its security settings. The security profiles provide an easy way for users, without previous knowledge about network security, to administrate the firewall.

The predefined security profiles are prepared with support for the most commonly used applications, games and services. The default settings of the security profiles will be sufficient for most users. By changing between the profiles, you control what traffic is allowed to pass.

You toggle between the security profiles with the ALT key located on the Internet Gate front panel. You can also select security profile from the Internet Gate web interface.

Upon delivery the security profiles are set to default values. You can change the settings for the different security profiles to fit your specific security needs and add support for applications.

Hi and Lo offer the same protection for incoming traffic, from the Internet. It is only outgoing traffic that is treated differently.
