Robust & Comprehensive Firewall

 

Security is always taken seriously with DrayTek routers. The firewall protects against attacks including DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, IP-based attacks and access by unauthorised remote systems. Wireless, Ethernet and VPN are also protected by various protection systems. The latest (‘Version 3’) DrayTek object-based firewall allows even more setup flexibility than ever, enabling you to create combinations of users, rules and restrictions to suit multi-departmental organisations. The Vigor 2925 also allows selective direction firewall rules of LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN or LAN to VPN. In addition, QoS (Quality of Service Assurance) can now be selectively applied to specific users.

 

IPv6 – Next Generation Internet Routing

 

The Vigor 2925 supports IPv6 – the successor to the current IPv4 addressing system that has been used since the Internet was first created. IPv4 address space is full up and IPv6 allows for much more efficient routing and a larger address space. IPv6 is supported both from your own ISP, but if your ISP does not (yet) support IPv6, the Vigor 2925 also supports IPv6 broker/tunnel services to provide IPv6 accss using either TSPC or AICCU via 3rd party IPv6 providers. To learn all about IPv6, you can get our detailed guide to IPv6 here.

 

IPv6 on the Vigor2925 and Vigor2925n provides the following features:

IPv6 support on the DrayTek Vigor 2925

Operation on any one of the WAN ports (ADSL/VDSL, Ethernet or 3G)

Connectivity to direct native IPv6 ISPs

Built-in tunneling to 3rd party IPv6 brokers

suppporting TSPC or AICCU methods

Default stateful firewall for all IPv6 LAN Clients/Devices

DHCPv6 Client or Static IPv6 Client

DHCPv6 & RADVD for client configuration

IP Filtering Rules

QoS for IPv6 with DiffServ

Router Management over IPv6 (Telnet/HTTP) with IPv6 Access List

Simultaneous (concurrent) operation with IPv4 (“Dual-Stack”)

Other router features are available on IPv4 only currently

 

Phone Ports for VoIP

 The Vigor 2925Vn-Plus model includes two phone sockets into which you can connect regular analogue phones (desktop or  cordless phones).   This provides you effectively with two phone lines with which to make or receive phone calls, either to other VoIP users across the Internet, or to/from regular phone line/mobile phones via a VoIP Gateways service (such as 2Talk).   This great feature provides you with two phone lines using your Internet connection, saving line rental and installation costs compared with an extra line.

Web Content Filtering

 

GlobalView Categories

The content control features of the Vigor 2925 allows you to set restrictions on web site access, blocking download of certain file or data types, blocking specific web sites with whitelists or blacklists, blocking IM/P2P applications or other potentially harmful or wasteful content. Restrictions can be per user, per PC or universal. Using DrayTek’s GlobalView service, you can block whole categories of web sites (e.g. gambling, adult sites etc.), subject to an annual subscription to the Globalview service, which is continuously updated with new or changed site categorisations or sites which have become compromised (such as infected with Malware). A free 30-day trial is included with your new router.

 

WAN Load Balancing & Backup

 

The Vigor 2925 features WAN connectivity via its two WAN Ethernet ports and two USB ports for connection of a compatible 3G or 4G modem. The Ethernet ports can connect to DSL modems (e.g. Vigor 120), a cable modem or any other Ethernet-based Internet feed. The multiple WAN interfaces can be used either for WAN-Backup or load balancing. Load-balancing or failover supports IPv4 only currently (not IPv6).

 

WAN-Backup provides contingency (redundancy) in case of your primary ADSL line or ISP suffering temporary outage). Internet Traffic will be temporarily routed via the secondary Internet access. When normal services is restored to your primary ADSL line, all traffic is switched back to that.

The Vigor 2925Vn-plus variant provides two analogue phone ports and an analogue line port provide full PSTN and VoIP integration via both the Internet (VoIP) and your regular analogue line. You can connect 1 or 2 regular telephones and the can be used independently and simultaneously for both incoming and outgoing calls.

As well as the two telephone ports, a third port, the Analogue Line port, connects into your regular analogue line (PSTN/POTS*). This then gives the telephones access to your analogue line to allow you to make calls as well as your VoIP facility (you can select the PSTN line instead of VoIP by dialling #0). Incoming calls are automatically switched through to your telephone(s) (either one or both) so that each phone can be used for both VoIP and POTS calls. Both telephones plugged into your router have access to VoIP and your analogue line. In addition, using the ‘Digit-Map’ facility you can set rules about particular call destinations using either the POTS line or your SIP/VoIP service. For example, local calls can be routed via your PSTN line (if you have a free calls package for example) whereas international calls can go via your preferred VoIP provider; there is flexibility to have several digit-map rules.

As well as connecting with a SIP/VoIP gateway directly (such as 2Talk), the Vigor2925Vn-plus can register its phones as extensions on a remote IP PBX, such as DrayTek’s Vigor IPPBX products, so this is an idea teleworker solution.

*POTS = Plain Old Telephone Service – The traditional analogue phone voice line in your home/office, e.g. B.T. That line may also be carrying your ADSL data signal.
