1 edit | question FOR N O Y B about firewall settings hi N O Y B ..since i can't replyy to an old good post you made
»Harden Your Westell 327 Firewall
i was reading carefully about your instructions.
i used firewall software,but now i need to cut down in ram-resources and i found that westell provide a good solid router firewall,since i can not reply to that ol post and westell 327w firmware has been updated.
i want to confirm that your first post is still the best methos for harden the firewall,and now i just set the firewall to medium security..
DO I JUST need to copy.paste the "inbound/outbound" rules from your first post ??..and can this rules be used in all modes custom,none,low,mediun,high??
---------what about the windows firewall from xp..it should set to on or off??
PLEASE ..let me know,i want to make sure about how to make the changes.
thanks. | |

2 edits | hi N O Y B..thanks for your responce.
this is still a littel confuse for me.in the first picture i posted which option should i "check"-custom-no security-minimun security[low]--typical security[mediun]--or maximun security[high]
then you said you prefer this set
1.- Inbound Firewall Rules - Medium
Deny All Inbound Packets That Are Not Explicitly Permitted or Do Not Have a Matching Session State Table Entry (Unsolicited)
title [ Security Level Custom (Medium) IN rules ]begin# Drop and Log Packets with Time to Live (TTL) of 0 or 1TTL#drop match 3 8 { 01:FE } >> done, alert 4 [TTL of 0 or ......etc,etc
2.-Outbound Firewall Rules - Low
Permit All Outbound Packets That Are Not Explicitly Denied
title [ Security Level Custom (Low) OUT rules ]begin# Protocol Match conditions# Internet Control Message Protocol# Pass Specific ICMP Types, Drop and Log all other ICMP Types .....................etc,etc
and BTW ..harden security affects connection speeds??? | |

Select and apply custom.
Then edit custom and paste in the rules for inbound and outbound, and apply them.
As for speed, run a comparison speed test. Doubt you will see any meaningful impact.
