Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services
The gateway provides a variety of options for blocking Internet based content and communications
services. With its content filtering feature, the gateway prevents objectionable content from
reaching your PCs. The gateway allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for
keywords within Web addresses. It also has the capability to block access to all sites except those
that are explicitly allowed.
Key content filtering options include:
Blocking access from your LAN to Internet locations that contain keywords that your specify.
Blocking access to websites that you specify as off-limits.
Allowing access to only websites that you specify as allowed.
Blocking Keywords and Domains
The gateway allows you to restrict access to Internet content based on functions such as Web
address keywords and Web domains. A domain name is the name of a particular website. For
example, for the address www.NETGEAR.com, the domain name is NETGEAR.com.
To block keywords and domains:
1.
Log in to the gateway as described in
“Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4

Port Forwarding
Configuring Port Forwarding to Local Servers
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers
on your local network. For example, you might make a local Web server, FTP server, or game
server visible and available to the Internet.
Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to
computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also
specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded. The DMZ
server is configured in the WAN Setup screen, as discussed in
““Setting Up a Default DMZ
Server” on page 5-4
.
Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you will
provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. Be sure the
computer’s IP address never changes.
To configure port forwarding to a local server:
1.
Log in to the gateway as described in
“Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4
.
2.
Select Port Forwarding under Advanced in the main menu. The Port Forwarding screen
displays:
