4. 4. Network Security

This chapter guides you on how to protect your home network from cyber attacks and unauthorized users by implementing these three network security functions. You can protect your home network against DoS (Denial of Service) attacks from flooding your network with server requests using DoS Protection, block or allow specific client devices to access your network using Access Control, or you can prevent ARP spoofing and ARP attacks using IP & MAC Binding.

4. 4. 1. Protect the Network from Cyber Attacks

The SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Firewall and DoS (Denial of Service) Protection protect the router from cyber attacks.

The SPI Firewall can prevent cyber attacks and validate the traffic that is passing through the router based on the protocol. This function is enabled by default, and it’s recommended to keep the default settings.

DoS Protection can protect your home network against DoS attacks from flooding your network with server requests. Follow the steps below to configure DoS Protection.

Now you don’t need to worry about ARP spoofing and ARP attacks!

4. 5. NAT Forwarding

The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the Internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified device on the local network.

With the forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows devices on the Internet to initiatively communicate with devices on the local network, thus realizing some special functions.

The TP-LINK router supports four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ.

4. 5. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual Servers

When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the Internet, Virtual Servers can realize the service and provide it to Internet users. At the same time

Chapter 4

Virtual Servers can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the Internet.

Virtual Servers can be used for setting up public services on your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different service ports. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port

110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

I want to:

How can I do that?

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the Internet.

For example, the personal website has been built on my home

PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends on the Internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

4. 5. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players and more.

Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:

4. 5. 3. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on the local network, it is totally exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host.

Chapter 4

Note:

When DMZ is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards.

If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

I want to:

How can I do that?

Make the home PC join the Internet online game without port restriction.

For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the

online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ host with all ports open.

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example

192.168.0.100.

2. Visit

http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with password you set for

the router.

3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select Enable .

5. Click Save.

Done!

The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team to game with other players.

4. 5. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the local network and the Internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.

Chapter 4

Tips:

• UPnP is enabled by default in this router.

• Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.

• UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of operating system need to install the UPnP components).

For example, when you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to

the Internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.

4. 6. VPN Server

The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network in a secured way through Internet when you are out of home. The router offers two ways to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN.

OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stable. It is suitable for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet.

PPTP VPN is more easily used and its speed is faster, it’s compatible with most operating systems and also supports mobile devices. Its security is poor and your packets may be cracked easily, and PPTP VPN connection may be prevented by some ISP.

4. 7. 4. Specify DHCP Server Settings

By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and the router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client devices from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of the DHCP Server if necessary, and you can reserve LAN IP addresses for specified client devices.

4. 7. 5. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change any time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using domain name without checking and remembering the IP address.

Note:

DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.

4. 7. 6. Create Static Routes

Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.

I want to:

Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.

For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the Internet through

Router A, but I also want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch and Router B. I connect the devices as shown in

Chapter 4

the following figure so that the physical connection between my PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the Internet and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.

How can I do that?

Router A

LAN: 192.168.0.1

Switch

192.168.0.100

Router B

WAN: 172.30.30.100

LAN: 192.168.0.2

Company’s server

172.30.30.1

1. Change the routers’ LAN IP addresses to two different IP addresses on the same subnet. Disable Router B’s DHCP function.

2. Visit

http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with password you set for

Router A.

3. Go to Network > Advanced Routing.

4. Click

Add and finish the settings according to the following

explanations:

Network Destination: The destination IP address that you want

to assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same

Chapter 4

subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of Router A. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination IP address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.

Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the

destination IP address. If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination network is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255.

Default Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which

the data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s IP which sends out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router B and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be

192.168.0.2.

Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out

data packets. In the example, the data are sent to the gateway through the LAN port of Router A, so

LAN should be selected.

Description: Enter a description for this static routing entry.

5. Click

6. Check the

OK.

System Routing Table below. If you can find the

entry you’ve set, the static routing is set successfully.

Done!

Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP address to visit the company network.
