Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit
LAN and Dual WAN Ports.
Key Features of the VPN Firewall
The ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports with 4 port switch
connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through an external access device such as a
cable modem or DSL modem.
The FVS124G is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and
intrusions. Unlike simple Internet sharing firewalls that rely on Network Address Translation
(NAT) for security, the FVS124G uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service (DoS)
attack protection and intrusion detection. The VPN Firewall provides you with multiple Web
content filtering options, plus browsing activity reporting and instant alerts—both via e-mail.
Network administrators can establish restricted access policies based on time-of-day, Website
addresses and address keywords.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the firewall within minutes.
The VPN Firewall provides the following features:
Two 10/100 Mbps ports for an Ethernet connection to a WAN device, such as a cable modem
or DSL modem.
Dual WAN ports that provide for increased system reliability and load balancing.
Support for up to 10 VPN tunnels.
Easy, web-based setup for installation and management.
URL keyword Content Filtering and Site Blocking Security.
Quality of Service (QoS) support for traffic prioritization.
Built in 4-port 10/100/1000 Mbps switch.
Extensive Protocol Support.
Login capability.
Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.
