Firewall on an Airwall Gateway

Each Airwall Gateway has a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall that can be configured in the Conductor. Communications from remote devices behind remote Airwall Gateways are incoming connections. When the Airwall Gateway firewall is enabled, all incoming communications coming from remote Airwall Gateways are blocked by default, unless they are related to an already established session from a local device behind the local Airwall Gateway.

To enable the firewall on an Airwall Gateway:

  1. Click Airwalls, select an Airwall Gateway.
  2. Go to Local Devices > Firewall.
  3. Click Edit Settings, and then click Enabled to view and configure the Firewall settings.

    You can enable or disable the firewall, enable or disable Incoming ICMP Protection, and enable or disable SYN Flood Protection. Once configured, click Update Settings to save the settings.
