5 SujetsBlock incoming connections and ports - ZyXEL EMG2926-Q10A
Greetings, On the Videotron modem ZyXEL EMG2926-Q10A, does anyone know how to block all incoming traffic (from the internet to the modem) and how to lock all ports from incoming connections? When login into the modem via a web browser and the clicking on: Expert Mode > Configuration (left side of the screen) > Security > Firewall > Services > Add firewall rule , I cannot find the option for “incomming” traffic or “outgoing” traffic. There is only the “Source_IP_Address” which I suspect is the way to block the incomming connections to the modem. From my point of view, one would have to list all IP addresses as “source” by stating an IP address range such as 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. 1) Is that the way to block incoming connections to the router? 2) What is the correct way to type/state an IP address range in the EMG2926-Q10A? Regarding blocking the ports on the modem from incoming connections: 3) is that within: Expert Mode > Configuration > Security > Firewall > Services > Add firewall rule > SourcePortRange that ports 0 to 65535 have to be typed in to prevent people outside the network from scanning/using ports on the modem? Lastly, its not clear if creating a firewall rule (as stated above; “Add a firewall rule”) will create a rule that “allows” or “block” the traffic. 4) Does firewall rules block or allow traffic?

When playing Call of Duty with a new Helix Fi modem. Things would work but after about half an hour, the game would start lagging until finally it was unplayable - this is still the case as I tested this again yesterday and the problem persists. I could not find any way to set uplink QOS on the Helix Fi so finally I put it in Bridge Mode and connected my own Netgear R6400 router. This worked very well and I do not actually have to set any uplink QOS. My question is why there is there no discussion about gaming issues with the Helix Fi modem/router here on the forum. I could not find any solution or even discussion. I've only found Redit discussions that did not offer solutions. I'm curious why this is not a bigger issue. Are other Helix users gaming - in particular COD - without issues?Résolu868Vues0like3CommentairesImproving VoIP Stability While Traveling – Stag VPN Experience
<p>Hey everyone,</p> <p> I wanted to share a quick tip for those who rely on VoIP or internet calling services while traveling or working remotely. I've been using <strong>Stag VPN</strong> recently to stabilize my internet connection during calls, especially over public or shared networks. </p> <p> Before using it, I often had call drops or jitter issues with my internet telephony setup. But with Stag VPN, the connection feels more stable and secure. It routes traffic efficiently and helps avoid ISP throttling or region-based disruptions. </p> <p> Anyone else here tried using a VPN for internet calling? Would love to hear your experience or other recommendations! </p> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> <em>#VoIP</em>, <em>#VPN</em>, <em>#StagVPN</em>, <em>#InternetCalling</em>, <em>#RemoteWork</em></p>125Vues0like1CommentairePourquoi il faut appeler le service a la clientèle une fois par année pour les payment préautorisés?
Pourquoi il faut appeler le service a la clientèle une fois par année pour les payment préautorisés? Et pourquoi les employés de Vidéotron ne sont jamais assez intelligent pour comprendre le problème? Il dise toujours d'appeler le service a la clientèle, mais devoir les appeler a chaque année pour un appel de plus qu'une heure c'est justement le problème! Et le problème reviens toujours!243Vues0like2CommentairesGeolocalisation “hors quebec”
Bonjour, J’habite à Gatineau, mais vraiment proche d’Ottawa. Dans le sens que, Je sors de chez moi, traverse un pont et je suis à Ottawa. Ça semble me causer des problemes lorsque j’essaie d’ecouter des chaines du Quebec (par exemple le hockey à Rds ou TVA sports avec mes données de telephone. Donc, quand je me suis pas sur mon wifi. Par exemple, à un café juste à côté, ou durant mes pauses au travail. La diffusion est bloquée parce que l’on dit que je ne peux ecouter du contenu “hors Quebec” auriez-vous une solution à proposer? merci142Vues0like1Commentaire
