Title: firewall not functioning properly -- allowing traffic through
Post by: langm on July 26, 2009, 10:30:32 PM

Hi there,

I'm not clear on what I need to do to secure this firewall.   Here's what I've done so far:
Disabled UPNP
Put a deny inbound filter on *
Disabled SPI
Both UDP & TCP are Port & Address restricted
Enabled anti spoof
Disabled PPTP, IPSEC, RTSP, SIP
Disabled traffic shaping

I'm still seeing inbound traffic on my desktop (using webroot desktop firewall), including UPNP traffic that I have turned off.   I'm the only client that is connected to the router right now, so am sure that a local network client isn't invoking the traffic.

What do I need to do to lock this down?

Thanks

Matt

SPI is the firewall, that's what checks the packets to see if they are valid traffic.  Re-enable it to stop incoming traffic that was not requested.
