    Draytek Firewall Question

    AndreiV, thanks so much for your quick reply. I will be sure to enable the DOS defense as you suggested. I'm by no means a networking professional, so please bear with me if these questions are not particularly technically astute: Is the purpose of the filter settings more or less to "tweak"...

    Draytek Firewall Question

    I've recently bought a Draytek 2925 router and am in the process of setting it up. In the firewall section of the control panel, I don't see any of the usual options as far as security. In my old router, there is the option to select from "Low Security" "Typical Security" "High Security"...

Thanks for the link to the post at plus.net (6 pages!) -- it will make...

    Advice Request -- Network Equipment

    Degrub, thanks for the reply! Do you mean setting up a VPN or similar where I would want remote access to files on the computer? No. The connection is just for browsing/typical internet use. Are there any security issues that arise when using a double NAT setup? My search for a better...

    Advice Request -- Network Equipment

    I'm not very versed in networking and need some advice on exactly what type of equipment I'm looking for. I live in Austria and my internet connection is PPPoA ADSL over POTS (Annex A). Access is via a modem-router (ADB vv2220) This isn't much of a device as far as security and other features...
