Mini-Firewall

Mini-Firewall is a Stingray SG option to protect subscribers from attacks and device hacking.

A botnet (a network of devices infected with malware) is used for DDoS attacks, spam, viruses and illegally obtaining users’ personal data. Unwanted activity gives providers a lot of trouble:

  • hacking devices connected to the network
  • network overload
  • IP blocking.

Blocking unwanted traffic

Mini-Firewall as a Stingray SG option solves at least two problems

Preventing subscribers hacking on open ports which may be attacked.

Blocking harmful activity outgoing from a subscriber.

Benefits

Safety

The possibility of hacking devices with public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is significantly reduced.

Functionality

Complementing Stingray SG, BNG, and CG-NAT by its own firewall allows to configure the traffic flow dynamically.

Efficiency

Results of BotNet preventing:

  • reducing the load on the network and improving the quality of services for subscribers
  • protecting provider’s reputation for various DDoS monitoring services.

Improving QoE

The mini-FireWall and Quality of Experience module combined help to define:

  • the attacking user
  • the attacked user
  • notifying the subscriber on suspicious actions.

Easy to configure

Easy to configure just 4 parameters:

  • max_port - the port number, below which access is blocked
  • port_holes - list of ports that are allowed to access bypassing the max_port limit
  • out_port - list of ports to which outbound traffic is closed
  • login - client account to which the settings apply.

DDoS and BotNet defence

The Firewall is necessary for network protecting from overloads and malware and for providing safe and stable performance. The built-in Stingray SG brandmauer is able to determine:

  • type of attack
  • its source
  • approximate number of attackers
  • aim of the attack (specific client of the network, group of clients, provider’s equipment).
