Logging and Other Features
Logging is not one of the FR24's strong points, with no support for traffic logging. According to Hawking, the only things logged are connection status for each enabled Firewall Access Rule, Administration logins, and Hacker alerts. During my testing, I also noticed that WAN DHCP leases were also logged.
If you fill in your email address and SMTP server information, you'll get an email whenever the router detects a "hack" event, or when the log fills up. You can also mail a copy of the log on demand. There's no support for syslog or SNMP trap logging.
Other Features
There are a few other features that the FR24 sports that I haven't mentioned, so here you go:
- there's a real-time clock that you can either set manually, or have automatically pick up the correct time from an NTP server (you set the time zone, but there's no Daylight Savings option)
- you can save and load the router's configuration to a file on your computer
- you can set the router to discard ping requests (disabled by default)
- you can ping an IP address (would have been more useful to be able to run a series of pings and ping by domain name)
- dynamic DNS is supported via dyndns.org
