iPECS SBG-1000’s firewall provides both the security and flexibility that home and office users
seek. It provides a managed, professional level of network security while enabling the safe use of
interactive applications, such as Internet gaming and video-conferencing.
Additional features, including browsing restrictions and access control, can also be easily
configured locally by the user through a user-friendly Web-based interface, or remotely by a
service provider. The iPECS SBG-1000 firewall supports advanced filtering, designed to allow
comprehensive control over the firewall’s behavior. You can define specific input and output rules,
control the order of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that apply to
WAN and LAN network devices.
