Block WAN Requests

Use these features to enhance your network's security and filter multicasting.

Block Anonymous Internet Requests. This keeps your network from being "pinged" or detected and reinforces

your network security by hiding your network ports, so it is more difficult for intruders to work their way into your

network. Select Enabled to block anonymous Internet requests, or Disabled to allow anonymous Internet

requests.

Filter Multicast. Multicasting allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time. If

multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate

computers. Select Enabled to filter multicasting, or Disabled to disable this feature.
