So how should we perform the specific security configuration? Let's browse the following content together.

For home users, the most practical security settings for the Internet mainly include the Simple Firewall built in the wireless router and the DMZ host, to a large extent, they can prevent virus software on the Internet from attacking important computers in the family and protect minors at home from the intrusion of extremely pornographic information on the Internet.

◆ Wireless Router Security Settings: Firewall

A firewall can be installed in a single router to filter unwanted information packets. The firewall in a wireless router supports IP address filtering, domain name filtering, and MAC address filtering. It can help you easily filter out some poor websites, control the number of users accessing the Internet and their Internet access permissions, and use the scheduled function of the wireless router, you can also control these rules to take effect within the specified time period to maintain a fresh and clean network environment for you.

To use the firewall, you can "enable" the firewall option in the WEB Settings. Take IP address filtering as an example. It can be used to block some specific external IP addresses that have damage to the network, to protect the Internet Security of minors in the home. Enter the IP address or IP address segment of the WAN to be filtered in the IP address filtering option.

The domain name filtering function can also be used to filter pornographic, violent, drug and other websites, so that minors in the family can have a healthy Internet access environment. It is also easy to use, just fill in the website that needs to be filtered.

Domain Name Filtering

◆ Wireless Router Security Settings: DMZ host

DMZ is the abbreviation of "demilitarized zone ". It is a buffer zone between a non-security system and a security system to solve the problem that the external network cannot access the internal network server after the firewall is installed, this buffer zone is located in a small network area between the enterprise's internal network and the external network. Some public home Internet facilities can be placed in this small network area, such as Web servers, FTP servers, and forums. On the other hand, such a DMZ region is more effective in protecting the internal network, because such network deployment, compared with the general firewall solution, has an additional level for attackers, therefore, the servers in DMZ should not contain any personal business secrets, account passwords, or private information.

Home users can set the unimportant computer as a DMZ host to protect the internet security of another computer or several other computers. It is easy to set. You only need to find the DMZ setting option in the WEB of the wireless router, fill in the IP address of the computer on which you want to set the DMZ host, and then select enable.
