NetMAX 2.2 - 3.x

NetMAX Fire Wall implements ipchains to block network traffic. Some of thesse attacks are easily guarded against by simply selecting the common rules available in options in NetMAX, but custom rules can also be configured by more advanced users.

NetMAX 4.x

NetMAX 4 products implement iptables to filter network traffic. The functioning of this is superior to ipchains. Using the NetMAX interface, the Firewall setup should be virtually the same.
