Network Security
This chapter guides you on how to protect your home network from cyber attacks and
unauthorized users by implementing these five 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. You can prevent certain users from
accessing the specified service, even block Internet access completely with Service
Filtering. You can also block or allow specific client devices to access your network
using Access Control, prevent ARP spoofing and ARP attacks using IP & MAC Binding,
or protect your IPv6 network by preventing access from the internet using IPv6 Firewall.
• Protect the Network from Cyber Attacks
• Service Filtering
• Access Control
• IP & MAC Binding
• IPv6 Firewall
Chapter 7 Network Security
7. 1. Protect the Network 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 Firewall and DoS Protection.
1. Visit http:///tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you
set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Security > Firewall & DoS Protection.
3. Enable IPv4 SPI Firewall.

4. Enable DoS Protection.
Note: DoS protection and Traffic Monitor must be enabled at the same time. To enable Traffic Monitor, go to System
Tools > Traffic Monitor and toggle on Traffic Monitor.
5. Set the level (Low, Middle or High) of protection for ICMP-FLOOD Attack Filtering,
UDP-FlOOD Attack Filtering and TCP-FLOOD Attack Filtering.
• ICMP-FLOOD Attack Filtering - Enable to prevent the ICMP (Internet Control
Message Protocol) flood attack.
• UDP-FlOOD Attack Filtering - Enable to prevent the UDP (User Datagram
Protocol) flood attack.
• TCP-FLOOD Attack Filtering - Enable to prevent the TCP-SYN (Transmission
Control Protocol-Synchronize) flood attack.
Tips:
The level of protection is based on the number of traffic packets. The protection will be triggered immediately
when the number of packets exceeds the preset threshold value (the value can be set on Dos Protection Level
Settings section of the same page), and the vicious host will be displayed in the Blocked DoS Host List.

Chapter 12
NAT Forwarding
Router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN
use the same public IP address to communicate in the internet, which protects the
local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the
problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in
the local network.
With forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows the
external hosts on the internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in the local
network, thus to realize some special functions.
TP-Link router includes 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.
• Translate Address and Port by ALG
• Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server
• Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
• Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ
• Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding
12. 1. Translate Address and Port by ALG

ALG (Application Layer Gateway) allows customized NAT (Network Address Translation)
traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation
for certain application layer “control/data” protocols: FTP, TFTP, H323 etc. Enabling ALG
is recommended.
set for your router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > ALG.
Note: It is recommended to keep the default settings.
• PPTP Pass-through: If enabled, it allows Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled

through an IP network and passed through the router.
• L2TP Pass-through: If enabled, it allows Layer 2 Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled
through an IP network and passed through the router.
• IPSec Pass-through: If enabled, it allows IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) to
be tunneled through an IP network and passed through the router. IPSec uses
cryptographic security services to ensure private and secure communications over
IP networks.
• FTP ALG: If enabled, it allows FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers to transfer
data via NAT.
• TFTP ALG: If enabled, it allows TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers
to transfer data via NAT.
• H323 ALG: If enabled, it allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate via NAT.
• SIP ALG: If enabled, it allows clients communicate with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
servers via NAT.
45
RTSP ALG: If enabled, it allows RTSP (Real-Time Stream Protocol) clients and servers to
transfer data via NAT.
12. 2. Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual

Server
When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the internet,
Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the internet users. At the same
time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible
from the internet.
Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.
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:
Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.
For example, the personal website has been built in my home PC (192.168.1.100). I hope
that my friends in 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.
Personal Website
4G LTE Router
LAN WAN: 218.18.232.154
Home
How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set
for the router.
3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers, click Add.
46
4. Click View Existing Services, and choose HTTP. The external port, internal port and
protocol will be auto-populated. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100 in the
Internal IP field.
5. Click Save to save the settings.
Note:
1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about
which port and protocol to use.
2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters
manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.
3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note
that the External Port cannot be overlapped.
Done!
Users in the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example, enter
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Note:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended
to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS, go to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
for more information. Then you can use http://domain name to visit the website.
2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http://WAN IP: External Port or http://
domain name: External Port to visit the website.
12. 3. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host in 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
47
router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied
to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN Gaming
Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add.
3. Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired application. The triggering
port and protocol, the external port and protocol will be auto-populated. Here we
take application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.
4. Click Save to make the settings take effect.
Tips:
1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.
2. If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You
should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according to the
format the page displays.
12. 4. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction

by DMZ
When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in 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
48
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ
host.
Note:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ
host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable
it in time.
I want to:
Make the home PC join the online game without port restriction.
For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log
in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC
as a DMZ with all ports opened.
How can I do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.
for the router.
3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select the checkbox to enable DMZ.
4. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.100 in the DMZ Host IP Address filed.

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.
12. 5. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by

UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the 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 in the
both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other, realizing the
seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want
49
to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time

communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Tips:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
3. 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 requests 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.

Most ISPs (internet service providers) 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 need
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, in
no need of 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.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:

set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network> Dynamic DNS.

If you want to use a new DDNS account, please log out first, then log in with the new account.
13. 7. Create Static Routes

A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach
a specific host or network. Data from one point to another will always follow the same
path regardless of other considerations. Normal internet usage does not require this
setting to be configured.
I want to:
Visit multiple networks and multiple servers at the same time.
For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the internet, but I also want to visit my
company’s server. Now I have a switch and another router. I connect the devices as
shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my PC and my
company’s server is achieved. To surf the internet and visit my company’s network at
the same time, I need to configure the static routing.
4G LTE router Router 2 Company’s server
WAN: 172.30.30.100
LAN: 192.168.1.1 LAN: 192.168.1.2

172.30.30.1
Switch
My PC
192.168.1.100
65
How can I do that?

for the router.
3. Go to Advanced > Network > Static Routing.
4. Click Add to add a new static routing entry. 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 subnet with the WAN IP or
LAN IP of the router. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the
destination IP address, so here enters 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 enters 255.255.255.255.
• 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
66
sends out the data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of
Router 2 and then to the Server, so the gateway should be 192.168.1.2
• Interface - Determined by the port that sends out the data packets. In the example,
the data is sent to the gateway through the LAN port.
5. Select the checkbox to enable this entry.
Done!
Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP address to visit the
company network.
13. 8. Set Up IPv6 Tunnel

The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN
connection or vice versa.
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to
reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4.
It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where
both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.
The router provides three tunneling mechanisms: 6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The way to set
up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.
Note:
You must reconfigure the IPv6 Tunnel settings every time you reboot the router. Make sure the desired WAN connection
is connected before the configuration.
13. 8. 1. Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4

The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network,
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites, you can try to set up a 6to4
tunnel.
I want to:
Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with the tunnel service.
How can I do that?

set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel.
67
3. Tick the check box, select 6to4 as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN
connection from the drop-down list, then click Save.
Note:
If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet.
Done!
Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel.
Note: Still not being able to access IPv6 resources means that not any 6to4 public server was found in your network.
You can contact your ISP to sign up for IPv6 connection service.
13. 8. 2. Specify the 6rd Tunnel with Parameters Provided by Your ISP
I want to:
Specify the 6rd tunnel with the parameters provided by my 6rd tunnel service provider.
How can I do that?

set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel.
68
3. Tick the check box, select 6rd as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN
connection from the drop-down list.
4. According to the parameters provided by your ISP, choose Auto or Manual. More
parameters are needed if you choose Manual.
5. Click Save.
Note:
If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet and the connection
type is not Bridge.
Done!
Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6rd tunnel.
Tips: The way to set up DS-Lite tunnel is similar to that of 6rd tunnel. If you are provided with an IPv6-only WAN
connection and have signed up for DS-Lite tunnel service, specify the DS-Lite tunnel by referring to the steps above.
13. 9. USSD
USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is used to communicate with the
service provider’s computer. You can query service data on this page.
Follow the steps below to get service data.
set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > USSD page.
3. Enter the USSD request and click Send. You will see the message returned from the
carrier in the USSD Result box.
69
13. 10. Set up a VPN Connection

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network,
generally via the internet. However, the private network is a logical network without any
physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network.
With the wide application of the internet, more and more data need to be shared through
the internet. Connecting the local network to the internet directly, though can allow the
data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on the internet.
13. 10. 1. Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network

In the OpenVPN connection, the home network can act as a server, and the remote
device can access the server through the router which acts as an OpenVPN Server
gateway. To use the VPN feature, you should enable OpenVPN Server on your router,
and install and run VPN client software on the remote device. Please follow the steps
below to set up an OpenVPN connection.

5. In the VPN Subnet/Netmask fields, enter the range of IP addresses that can be leased to the
device by the OpenVPN server.
6. Select your Client Access type. Select Home Network Only if you only want the remote device
to access your home network; select Internet and Home Network if you also want the remote
device to access internet through the VPN Server.
7. Click Save.
8. Click Generate to get a new certificate.
Note: If you have already generated one, please skip this step, or click Generate to update the certificate.
9. Click Export to save the OpenVPN configuration file which will be used by the remote device
to access your router.
Step 2. Configure OpenVPN Connection on Your Remote Device

1. Visit http://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html to download the
OpenVPN software, and install it on your device where you want to run the OpenVPN client
utility.
Note:
You need to install the OpenVPN client utility on each device that you plan to apply the VPN function to access your
router. Mobile devices should download a third-party app from Google Play or Apple App Store.
2. After the installation, copy the file exported from your router to the OpenVPN client utility’s
“config” folder (for example, C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config on Windows). The path
depends on where the OpenVPN client utility is installed.
3. Run the OpenVPN client utility and connect it to OpenVPN Server.
71
13. 10. 2. Use PPTP VPN to Access Your Home Network

PPTP VPN Server is used to create a VPN connection for remote device. To use the VPN
feature, you should enable PPTP VPN Server on your router, and configure the PPTP
connection on the remote device. Please follow the steps below to set up a PPTP VPN
