Stealth Mode

Choose stealth mode to increase your defense against attacks and when routing functions are not needed. In stealth mode, your system behaves like a bridge in that no IP interfaces are exposed to the public or private network and packets are filtered by the Screen transparently. While operating in stealth mode, the Screen cannot be seen or detected through traceroute or similar network tools.

Be aware of the following considerations when operating in stealth mode:

• Packets are not routed, instead the Screen behaves like a bridge.

• IP address renumbering on hosts is not required.

• Only when using remote administration does any network interface need to be configured.
