Pacnet Serviced Firewall has two main security features

Application filtering controls the types of inbound and outbound traffic passing through your connection.

Inbound Traffic – Serviced Firewall will block all remote inbound connections to your internal devices.

Outbound Traffic – There are three outbound application filtering options that you can choose for your outbound traffic. These settings are also detailed in the table below.

Standard – Does not block any outbound traffic. Allows ability to surf the web, check email, transfer files, remotely connect to servers/computers, and use all other IP protocols.

Office – Allows access to surf the web, check email and transfer files. Excludes remote access to servers/computers, instant messaging and all other IP protocols.

Remote – Allows access to surf the web, check email and transfer files and remotely connect to servers/computers. Excludes access to all other IP protocols.

Please note: Serviced Firewall does not block pornography or illicit websites.

An intrusion detection system (IDS) inspects all inbound/outbound network traffic, identifies and blocks dangerous or suspicious patterns of traffic (IDS signatures). There are three levels of intrusion detection available:

Total – All IDS signatures are blocked including those not necessarily considered an attack.
Active – Only IDS signatures considered an attack are blocked.
No IDS – No IDS signatures are blocked. IDS is disabled.
