PR60x NAT
Using a PR60x and can't change the NAT from secured to open - can somebody point me to where this is located in the settings...please? Thanks in advance
Why oh why do are you so keen to have a NAT router where outgoing LAN->Internet connections remain kind of open for the same ports, previously used e.g. from surfing the Internet, allowing using the same connection unfiltered for Internet->>LAN? This is what Open NAT means. Makes zero sense from the security prospective.
Mark the other products as consumer junk please regardless of the brand. Or put the warning on it that the admin does obviously not understand what he does.
If this control isn't there, it can't be enabled "by accident".
Open does just keep the pure NAT on, the firewall will be completely disabled. Yes, I know, a lot of consumer garbage allows such stupid settings. Zero added value, zero added security ... just introduce yet another non-mitigated risk.
Do you know the difference between a pure NAT router and a firewall?
Please stop - I'm asking for help with a simple question. If you don't know where its at in the settings then move along to the next post.
