Also of note, you can see in the screenshot in the “Latest Alert Logs” pane, someone from 101.64.235.75 is trying to hack into my ZyWALL (and failing) and it is issuing a log message of “Failed login attempt…”. Below is a screen shot of the main dashboard that displays device info, system status, system resource, interface status, firewall rules, logs and USB status.Ī neat feature in the Dashboard is you can hover over the image of each port on the router and you’ll get a pop up window with the status, speed, and IP address on each active interface.

The ZyWALL 110 GUI provides four main tabs on the left for a dashboard, monitor options, configurations, and maintenance. On the rear of the 110 is the console port, a compact flash card slot, the exhaust fan vent, the power connector, and a Kensington locking port, shown below. The front of the 110 is where you’ll find all the Ethernet ports, the USB ports, and the indicator lights, as shown below. There is an internal cooling fan, so it is not silent, although the fan noise isn’t that loud. Brackets for rack mounting and adhesive rubber feet for desk mounting are included. The ZyWALL 110 measures 11.81″W x 7″D x1.73″H and is enclosed in a metal case. In this review, I’m going to take a look at the ZyWALL 110. The 1100 supports up to 1,000 IPsec VPN tunnels, 250 SSL VPN tunnels, and is rated for firewall throughput of 8,000 Mbps. The 310 supports up to 200 IPsec VPN tunnels, 50 SSL VPN tunnels, and is rated for firewall throughput of 2,000 Mbps. The 110 supports up to 100 IPsec VPN tunnels, 25 SSL VPN tunnels and is rated for firewall throughput of 1,000 Mbps. The three models of the ZyWALL VPN Firewall are the 110, 3.

The ZyWALL’s primary function is to be VPN router and a firewall, with lots of speed! Toward that end, ZyXEL has equipped them multi-core CPUs and fine-tuned the firewall for “uncompromising performance”. Many network security devices provide multiple security features in addition to VPN tunnels and firewall such as anti virus, Intrusion Prevention/Detection, content filtering, and so on. ZyXEL’s ZyWALL VPN Firewalls are focused, “business-grade” devices designed for high throughput VPN and secure network connectivity. Introduction Updated 1/22/14: Windows 8 SSL works
