Firewalling Basics

44Net Connect and Security

44Net Connect provides every device with a public facing IPv4 address, and does not inspect, filter, or block any traffic directed towards 44Net devices. Devices with publicly routable IP addresses face a constant barrage of traffic from various scanners and bots on the internet. Some of them are malicious, and preventing them from compromising your devices involves keeping your software up to date, configuring your firewall to prevent access to private services, and correctly configuring your software's authentication.
