Application Filtering

Application filtering controls the types of inbound and outbound traffic passing through your connection.

Inbound Traffic - Serviced Firewall will block all remote inbound connections to your internal devices.

  • Web - Block/allow traffic to your web server
  • Mail - Block/allow traffic to your mail server
  • SSH - Block/allow SSH traffic to your connection
Outbound Traffic - There are three outbound application filtering options that you can choose for your outbound traffic. These settings are also detailed in the table below.
 
  • Standard - Does not block any outbound traffic. Allows ability to surf the web, check email, transfer files, remotely connect to servers/computers, and use all other IP protocols.
  • Office - Allows access to surf the web, check email and transfer files. Excludes remote access to servers/computers, instant messaging and all other IP protocols.
  • Remote - Allows access to surf the web, check email and transfer files and remotely connect to servers/computers. Excludes access to all other IP protocols.

Please note: Serviced Firewall does not block pornography or illicit websites.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

An intrusion detection system (IDS) inspects all inbound/outbound network traffic, identifies and blocks dangerous or suspicious pattens of traffic (IDS signatures). There are three levels of intrusion detection available;

  • Total - All IDS signatures are blocked including those not necessarily considered an attack.
  • Active - Only IDS signatures considered an attack are blocked.
  • No IDS - No IDS signatures are blocked. IDS is disabled.
