Internet through an external broadband access device (such as a cable modem or DSL modem) and

About the FVL328

The FVL328 is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and intrusions
and enables secure communications using Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Unlike simple Internet
sharing routers that rely on Network Address Translation (NAT) for security, the FVL328 uses
Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection and intrusion detection.
The 8-port FVL328 provides highly reliable Internet access for up to 253 users with up to 100
concurrent VPN tunnels.
