9.5 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic
DNS service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the
default public Internet IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a
host name. With dynamic DNS service enabled for a WAN connection, you can connect
to your WAN's IP address from the external, even if its IP address is dynamic. You must
register for an account from the listed dynamic DNS service providers before enabling
this option.
If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a NAT
router), the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the DNS service
provider.
Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection, the
Pepwave router will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP
address update within the provider’s records.
The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of hostname(s)
are configured via Network>WAN>Details>Dynamic DNS Service Provider/Dynamic
DNS Settings.

Hosts / Domain
This field allows you to specify a list of host names or domains to be associated with
the public Internet IP address of the WAN connection. If you need to enter more than
one host, use a carriage return to separate them.
Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) and a valid account with a supported
dynamic DNS service provider are required. A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WAN’s IP address
changes (e.g., the IP is changed after a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.). Due to dynamic DNS service
providers’ policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host record has not been updated for a long
time. Therefore the Pepwave router performs an update every 23 days, even if a WAN’s IP address has not
changed.

Peplink Balance’s VPN Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key
defines the pre-shared key used for this particular VPN connection. The VPN connection's
session key will be further protected by the pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if
the pre-shared keys on each side match. When the peer is running firmware 5.0+, this
setting will be ignored.
Enter Remote IDs either by typing out each Remote ID and Pre-shared Key, or by pasting a
CSV. If you wish to paste a CSV, click the icon next to the “Remote ID / Preshared Key”
setting.
Remote

These optional fields become available when X.509 is selected as the Peplink Balance’s
VPN authentication method, as explained above. To authenticate VPN connections using
X.509 certificates, copy and paste certificate details into these fields. To get more
information on a listed X.509 certificate, click the Show Details link below the field.
Allow Shared
Remote ID
When this option is enabled, the router will allow multiple peers to run using the same
remote ID.
NAT Mode
Check this box to allow the local DHCP server to assign an IP address to the remote peer.
When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be tagged with the
assigned IP address using network address translation.
Remote IP

(Optional)
If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or
hostname(s) here. If the remote uses more than one address, enter only one of them here.
Multiple hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage
return. Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.
This field is optional. With this field filled, the Peplink Balance will initiate connection to each
of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty,
the Peplink Balance will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of
the two VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be
established.
Data Port
This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN data. If
Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if the remote unit
uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable. If Custom is selected,
enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535.

12.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router
Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusionTM over WAN connections which are
behind a NAT (network address translation) router.
To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can
configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound port-forward TCP
port 32015 to the Pepwave router.
If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by means of
port forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the peer Unit B can do
so, you should enter all of Unit A’s public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit B’s
Remote IP Addresses / Host Names field. Leave the field in Unit A blank. With this
setting, a SpeedFusionTM connection can be set up and all WAN connections on both
sides will be utilized.
See the following diagram for an example of this setup in use:
One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1). The rest of the
WANs connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NAT’d. In this
case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of
Router A’s hostnames or public IP addresses (i.e., 212.1.1.1, 212.2.2.2, and 212.3.3.3),
and the field in Router A can be left blank. The two NAT routers on WAN1 and WAN3
connected to Router A should inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to Router A so that
all WANs will be utilized in establishing the VPN.

13 IPsec VPN
IPsec VPN functionality securely connects one or more branch offices to your
company's main headquarters or to other branches. Data, voice, and video
communications between these locations are kept safe and confidential across the
public Internet.
IPsec VPN on Pepwave routers is specially designed for multi-WAN environments. For
instance, if a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for a multi-WAN environment and
WAN1 is connected and healthy, IPsec traffic will go through this link. However, should
unforeseen problems (e.g., unplugged cables or ISP problems) cause WAN1 to go
down, our IPsec implementation will make use of WAN2 and WAN3 for failover.
13.1 IPsec VPN Settings
Many Pepwave products can make multiple IPsec VPN connections with Peplink,
Pepwave, Cisco, and Juniper routers. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind
them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other.
All data can be routed over the VPN with a selection of encryption standards, such as
3DES, AES-128, and AES-256. To configure IPsec VPN on Pepwave devices that
support it, navigate to Advanced>IPsec VPN.
A NAT-Traversal option and list of defined IPsec VPN profiles will be shown. NAT-
Traversal should be enabled if your system is behind a NAT router. Click the New
Profile button to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to remote
Pepwave, Cisco, or Juniper routers via available WAN connections. To edit any of the
profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost column.

Normal
Application
Compatibility
Outbound traffic from a source LAN device to the same destination Internet IP address will
be routed through the same WAN connection persistently, regardless of protocol. This
option provides high compatibility to most applications, and users still benefit from WAN link
load balancing when multiple Internet servers are accessed.
Custom
Outbound traffic behavior can be managed by defining rules in a custom rule table. A
default rule can be defined for connections that cannot be matched with any of the rules.
The default policy is Normal Application Compatibility.

New Custom Rule Settings
Service Name
This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule.
Enable
This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect. When Enable is
checked, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave
router based on the other parameters of the rule. When Enable is unchecked, the rule does
not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule.
Source
This setting specifies the source IP address, IP network, or MAC address for traffic that
matches the rule.
Destination
This setting specifies the destination IP address, IP network, or domain name for traffic that
matches the rule.
If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com, is entered, any
outgoing accesses to foobar.com and *.foobar.com will match this criterion. You may enter
a wildcard (.*) at the end of a domain name to match any host with a name having the
domain name in the middle. If you enter foobar.*, for example, www.foobar.com,
www.foobar.co.jp, or foobar.co.uk will also match. Placing wildcards in any other position is
not supported.
NOTE: if a server has one Internet IP address and multiple server names, and if one of the
names is defined here, accesses to any one of the server names will also match this rule.
Protocol and Port
This setting specifies the IP protocol and port of traffic that matches this rule.

14.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance
This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified
IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted
Balance.
The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to
the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change
each WAN’s weight.
For example, with the following weight settings:
Ethernet WAN1: 10
Ethernet WAN2: 10
Wi-Fi WAN: 10
Cellular 1: 10
Cellular 2: 10
USB: 10
Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10).
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.

14.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence
The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link
load distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons,
many e-banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client
computer’s Internet IP address changes mid-session.
In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security
concern is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an
unauthorized intrusion attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential
intrusion, the session is terminated upon the detection of an IP address change.
Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN
connections. Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which
communication actually takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind the
Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a
LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with three WAN connections may
communicate on the Internet using three different IP addresses.
With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to
persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites.
As a result, a client computer will communicate using one IP address, eliminating the
issues mentioned above.
There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.
By Source:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and originating
from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will provide the
highest level of application compatibility.
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating from
the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can better distribute
loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client machines.
The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can be
distributed (persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load
Distribution, the weights will be automatically adjusted according to each WAN’s
Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose
Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using the sliders.

14.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced
This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP
protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced.
Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the
health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic
can be enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusionTM connection.
14.2.4 Algorithm: Priority
This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections used to route the specified
network service. The highest priority WAN connection available will always be used for
routing the specified type of traffic. A lower priority WAN connection will be used only
when all higher priority connections have become unavailable.
Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be prioritized to go through
SpeedFusionTM connection(s). By default, VPN connections are not included in the
priority list.
Tip
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services.
14.2.5 Algorithm: Overflow
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that
has the highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets saturated, new
sessions will be routed to the next healthy WAN connection that is not in full load.

Copyright @ 2015 Pepwave
Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic.
Only the highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be used.
14.2.6 Algorithm: Least Used
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is
selected in Connection and has the most available download bandwidth. The available
download bandwidth of a WAN connection is calculated from the total download
bandwidth specified on the WAN settings page and the current download usage. The
available bandwidth and WAN selection is determined every time an IP session is made.
14.2.7 Algorithm: Lowest Latency
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is
selected in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking packets are
issued periodically to a nearby router of each WAN connection to determine its latency
value. The latency of a WAN is the packet round trip time of the WAN connection.
Additional network usage may be incurred as a result.
Tip
The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because the overall
round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink speed. Therefore, this
algorithm is good for two scenarios:
All WAN connections are symmetric; or
A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of the WAN’s

14.2.8 Expert Mode
Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for use
by advanced users. To enable the feature, click on the help
icon and click turn on Expert Mode.
In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusionTM
Routes, is displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule
represents all SpeedFusionTM routes learned from remote
VPN peers. By default, this bar is on the top of all custom
rules. This position means that traffic for remote VPN
subnets will be routed to the corresponding VPN peer. You
can create custom Priority or Enforced rules and move them
above the bar to override the SpeedFusionTM routes.
Upon disabling Expert Mode, all rules above the bar will be removed.

15 Inbound Access
15.1 Port Forwarding Service
Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from
the Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the
Pepwave router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port
Forwarding.
To define a new service, click Add Service.
Port Forwarding Settings
Enable
This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is checked, the
inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router
based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is disabled, the inbound service
does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule.
Service
Name
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this setting
consist of only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters.
IP Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service as
TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol
at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting. Please
see below for details on the Port and Servers settings. Alternatively, the Protocol Selection
Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number
of common Internet services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the
Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually
modifiable.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
101
Copyright @ 2015 Pepwave
Port
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured to
behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping
Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is
forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to
TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers.
Single Port: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the
specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single Port and Service Port 80,
TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 80.
Port Range: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the
specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts specified by
the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Range and
Service Ports 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through 88 is forwarded to the configured
servers via the respective ports.
Port Mapping: traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the
specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Mapping, Service Port 80, and
Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.)
Range Mapping: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the
specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers
setting.
Inbound IP
Address(es)
This setting specifies the WAN connections and Internet IP address(es) from which the service
can be accessed.
Server IP

15.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings
UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the
LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to
connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes
automated.
When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of
all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded.
Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these
features only if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports.
When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two
protocols can be found at Status>UPnP / NAT-PMP.

system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses (specified below) to
facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Range is selected.
Network
The IP network refers to all private IP addresses and ranges managed by the LAN host.
The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses (specified below)
to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Network is selected.

Inbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific Internet IP
addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified WAN
connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN host. This option is only
available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field.
Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP
forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT
mapping only.
Outbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP connection
is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range or IP network will
be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses (for better IP address
utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application compatibility).
Note that if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you should still
choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the Outbound Policy
section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP forwarding mode are not
shown here.
Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.
Important Note
Inbound firewall rules override the Inbound Mappings settings.

17.1 User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and
Guest. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets
to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on
each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the
options available here vary by model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific
subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and
less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom.
Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the button to
remove the defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They
are All DHCP reservation clients and Everyone, and they cannot be removed. The
All DHCP reservation client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP
Reservation table on the LAN settings page. Everyone represents all clients that are
not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its group.
Add / Edit User Group
Subnet / IP
Address
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s) by an IP
Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a name defined in DHCP
reservation table or a LAN client's IP address. If Subnet is selected, enter a subnet
address and specify its subnet mask.
Group
This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address belongs to.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by
rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for
details.

17.2 Bandwidth Control
You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload
speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member can
consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Manager members. By default,
download and upload bandwidth limits are set to unlimited (set as 0).
17.3 Application
17.3.1 Application Prioritization
On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same prioritization
settings to all user groups or customize the settings for each group.
Three application priority levels can be set: ↑High,━ Normal, and↓Low. Pepwave
routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet content.
Select an application by choosing a supported application, or by defining a custom
application manually. The priority preference of supported applications is placed at the
top of the table. Custom applications are at the bottom.

Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button in the Action
column to delete the custom application in the corresponding row.
When Supported Applications is selected, the Pepwave router will inspect network
traffic and prioritize the selected applications. Alternatively, you can select Custom
Applications and define the application by providing the protocol, scope, port number,
and DSCP value.
17.3.3 DSL/Cable Optimization
DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher
download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested,
the download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be able to download data at full
speed until the uplink becomes less congested. DSL/Cable Optimization can relieve
such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed will become less affected by the
upload traffic. By default, this feature is enabled.

18 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN side (the
Internet) and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the local network from potential
hacker attacks, access to offensive websites, and/or other inappropriate uses.
The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers supports the selective filtering of data
traffic in both directions:
Outbound (LAN to WAN)
Inbound (WAN to LAN)
The firewall also supports the following functionality:
Intrusion detection and DoS prevention
Web blocking
With SpeedFusionTM enabled, the firewall rules also apply to VPN tunneled traffic.

Miscellaneous Settings
The miscellaneous settings include configuration for high availability, PPTP server,
service forwarding, and service passthrough.
18.5 High Availability
Many Pepwave routers support high availability (HA) configurations via an open
standard virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768). In an HA configuration,
two Pepwave routers provide redundancy and failover in a master-slave arrangement.
In the event that the master unit is down, the slave unit becomes active. High availability
will be disabled automatically where there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN
bypass port.
In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router and to the
modem. Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via a LAN port.
An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual router
redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each other
using VRRP over the LAN.
The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a frequency
of one heartbeat signal per second.
In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is received
in 3 seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave Pepwave router
becomes active.
The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a
previously configured LAN IP address.
At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once
again become active.

Important Note
For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all hosts on the
LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default gateway as the
virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router.
In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set.
Please note that the drop-in WAN cannot be configured as a LAN bypass port while it is configured for high
availability.

after selecting Enable.
Web Proxy
Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy server
specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted. These connections
will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and port number. Web proxy
interception settings and proxy server settings for each WAN can be specified after
selecting Enable.
DNS Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted and
redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using the DNS name
servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this option to enhance the DNS
availability without modifying the DNS server setting of the clients. The built-in DNS
name server will distribute DNS lookups to corresponding DNS servers of all available
WAN connections. In this case, DNS service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN
connection is down.
Custom Service
Forwarding
When this option is enabled, incoming connections from specified ports will be
intercepted and forwarded to a local server.
18.8.1 SMTP Forwarding
Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISP’s SMTP server. All outgoing
SMTP connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISP’s. Pepwave routers
support intercepting and redirecting all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP
port 25) via a WAN connection to the WAN’s corresponding SMTP server.
To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check Enable
Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under SMTP Server,
enter the ISP’s e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP Port, enter the
TCP port number for each WAN.
The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP connections. Choose a WAN port according to
the outbound policy, and then forward the connection to the SMTP server if the chosen
WAN has enabled forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection,
SMTP connections for the WAN will be simply be forwarded to the connection’s original
destination.
Note
If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a custom rule
in outbound policy (see Section 14.2).

18.8.2 Web Proxy Forwarding
When this feature is enabled, the Pepwave router will intercept all outgoing connections
destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings, choose a
WAN connection with reference to the outbound policy, and then forward them to the
specified web proxy server and port number. Redirected server settings for each WAN
can be set here. If forwarding is disabled for a WAN, web proxy connections for the
WAN will be simply forwarded to the connection’s original destination.
18.8.3 DNS Forwarding
When DNS forwarding is enabled, all clients’ outgoing DNS requests will also be
intercepted and forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server.
18.8.4 Custom Service Forwarding
After clicking the enable checkbox, enter your TCP port for traffic heading to the router,
and then specify the IP Address and Port of the server you wish to forward to the
service to.

18.9 Service Passthrough
Service passthrough settings can be found at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service
Passthrough.
Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment.
Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice
being behind a multi-WAN router. Settings for service passthrough support are available
here.
Service Passthrough Support
SIP
Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave router can
act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds connections for the same SIP
session to the same WAN connection and translate IP address in the SIP packets
correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is always enabled, and there are two
modes for selection: Standard Mode and Compatibility Mode. If your SIP server’s
signal port number is non-standard, you can check the box Define custom signal ports
and input the port numbers to the text boxes.
H.323
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will
be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave router.
FTP
FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In a
multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection. Otherwise,
problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave router monitors TCP
control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds TCP connections of
the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you have an FTP server listening on a port
number other than 21, you can check Define custom control ports and enter the port
numbers in the text boxes.
TFTP
The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any incoming
TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to enable TFTP
passthrough support.
IPsec NAT-T
This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T passthrough. UDP ports 500, 4500,
and 10000 are monitored by default. You may add more custom data ports that your
IPsec system uses by checking Define custom ports. If the VPN contains IPsec site-to-

20.1 Admin Security
There are two types of user accounts available for accessing the web admin:
admin and user. They represent two user levels: the admin level has full administration
access, while the user level is read-only. The user level can access only the device's
status information; users cannot make any changes on the device.
A web login session will be logged out automatically when it has been idle longer than
the Web Session Timeout. Before the session expires, you may click the Logout
button in the web admin to exit the session.
0 hours 0 minutes signifies an unlimited session time. This setting should be used only
in special situations, as it will lower the system security level if users do not log out
before closing the browser. The default is 4 hours, 0 minutes.
For security reasons, after logging in to the web admin Interface for the first time, it is
recommended to change the administrator password. Configuring the administration
interface to be accessible only from the LAN can further improve system security.

want to keep the inactive firmware, you can simply reboot your device with the inactive
firmware and then perform the firmware upgrade.
Important Note
The firmware upgrade process may not necessarily preserve the previous configuration, and the behavior varies on
a case-by-case basis. Consult the release notes for the particular firmware version before installing. Do not
disconnect the power during firmware upgrade process. Do not attempt to upload a non-firmware file or a firmware
file that is not supported by Peplink. Upgrading the Pepwave router with an invalid firmware file will damage the unit
and may void the warranty.

The bandwidth bonding feature of PepVPN occurs when multiple WAN lines from one
end merge with multiple WAN lines from the other end. For this to happen, each WAN
line needs to form a connection with all the WAN lines on the opposite end. The function
of the PepVPN analyzer is to report the throughput, packet loss, and latency of all
possible combinations of connections. Please note that the PepVPN Analyzer will
temporarily interrupt VPN connectivity and will restore after test.
After clicking the icon, the analyzer will require several minutes to perform its analysis
depending the number of WAN links in the SpeedFusionTM Tunnel. Once the test the
complete, the report will appear:
"O" indicates that specific WAN / Tunnel is active for that particular test.
"Tx Avg." is the averaged throughput across the full 10 seconds time, while "Tx Max." is
the averaged throughput of the fastest 30% of time.
