What does SPI stand for?

Despite the IT security software being free, Infosecurity notes that it supports many of the features that rivals offer on their pay-for applications, including a stateful packet inspection firewall and network address translation (DNAT/SNAT/Masquerading).

All WatchGuard Firebox and XTM multifunction firewalls deliver deep packet inspection, stateful packet inspection and proxy-based protection, which creates the foundation for a defense-in-depth security architecture.

However, problems have been reported with some routers that have Stateful Packet Inspection in their firewalls, and sometimes a solution is to turn off SPI.

This architecture, built on a comprehensive, secure operating environment, delivers: * Seven-layer inspection * Secure content policy enforcement on the entire communications stream * Stateful packet inspection In addition, a new key feature is adaptive response, which provides intelligent, automatic rule activation based on current network activity and status as defined by a system administration.

It incorporates a business grade firewall featuring dynamic filtering by Stateful Packet Inspection.

The Digi TransPort WR44 features diverse power options, multiple mounting options, a rugged design, local scripting, advanced dynamic routing, state-of-the-art security and firewall features including stateful packet inspection and integrated IPSec VPN.
