4.4.11 Captive Portal
A captive portal intercepts all HTTP-packets, regardless of address or port, until
the user authenticates his or her connection, usually through a specifically
designated login Web page..
4.4.12 Firewall
The firewall controls the travel of traffic between or within zones. You can also
configure the firewall to control traffic for NAT (DNAT) and policy routes (SNAT).
You can configure firewall rules based on schedules, specific users (or user
groups), source or destination addresses (or address groups) and services (or
service groups). Each of these objects must be configured in a different screen.
To-NXC firewall rules control access to the NXC. Configure to-NXC firewall rules for
remote management. By default, the firewall only allows management
connections from the LAN, WAN zone.
4.4.13 Application Patrol
Use application patrol to control which individuals can use which services through
the NXC (and when they can do so). You can also specify allowed amounts of
bandwidth and priorities. You must subscribe to use application patrol. You can
subscribe using the Configuration > Licensing > Registration screens or one
of the wizards.
4.4.14 Anti-Virus
Use anti-virus to detect and take action on viruses. You must subscribe to use
anti-virus. You can subscribe using the Licensing > Registration screens or one
