disable port scan and dos protection
I need help from experts
Is there any Reason why this should be enabled? On my old Router is was disabled (default) and I´m not sure if I should disable it or enable it.
I user Port Triggers (port 3074 TCP/UDP for my xbox).
Like I understand a home Router can´t help you if you ar Dosed? And the DOS Protection has to process every Incoming packet.
Is it right, That i doesn´t really help?
If it only is dos protection I would disable it - but what does "port scan" in "disable port scan and dos protection" do?
Is it a security Problem if I disable it?

Re: disable port scan and dos protection
Disabling logging for these attributes will not pose a security risk. You are not making yourself any more vulnerable not logging these types of attacks.
They are there for monitoring and will provide a record in general terms for the types of threats and traffic your WAN sees.

I don´t mean the logging of this but I mean the WAN Configuration.
Is it a security Risk to turn it off?
