QuFirewall
Built-in Firewall for QNAP Appliances
QuFirewall is the built-in firewall app used by the QTS, QuTS hero, QNE Network, and QuTScloud operating systems used by QNAP appliances. You can allow/deny IP addresses and regions to prevent unauthorized access and brute force attacks for safeguarding data and service security.
Protect data and service security
With potential threats all around us, it is no longer safe to solely rely on network-based firewall appliances (perimeter) at the edge of your local network. With the Zero Trust Networks concept, you can install and enable QuFirewall to set up a host-based firewall (microperimeter) around your vital data and services on QNAP appliances. Combined with user authentication, permission settings and other security features provided by QNAP, your appliance will be strong and resilient against hackers, malware, and other threats.
Three preset profiles for quick protection
QuFirewall comes with three fully-customizable profiles for protecting your QNAP appliance. Select one as your starting point and make customizations to fit your specific needs.
-
Basic protection
Allows all ports on the NAS LAN subnet and the selected region
-
Include subnets only
Allows all ports on the NAS LAN subnet only
-
Restricted security
Allows some ports on the NAS LAN subnet and the selected region only
Defend against attacks
Set rules by regions
QuFirewall includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind. You can select which region to allow/deny access to your QNAP appliance, effectively enhancing security if your data and services should only be available to specific geographic locations.
View firewall event statistics
Quickly check the number of firewall events over time. If needed, you can also capture denied packets for a specified time period.
Active monitoring by packet capture and inspection
QuFirewall can record denied packets for a specific duration of time and perform deep packet inspection on attacking sources, protocols and service ports. It also provides PCAP (packet capture) files to enable further analysis to effectively mitigate malicious attacks.
Use with other QNAP apps
Security Center monitors QuFirewall’s status and provides recommendations when needed. The Notification Center app can also be used to send QuFirewall notices using various methods (including emails and push notifications).
