ZTE router antihacking option
I have a ZTE Modem router (ZXHN H108N V2.5) using it to get internet connection for a home PC. I opened the security tab and chose "firewall".
I found that the option: "enable anti-hacking" is unchecked. According to ZTE help, checking this option protects against ping flood, ping to death, and sync flood attacks.
I found the option "Firewall level" is set to high, and a small hint below it is written: "Allow legal WAN side access, but prohibit Ping from WAN side."
I checked the "enable anti-hacking" option.
But I'm asking, is there a possibility that I have been hacked in the period before I enable this option or this is impossible because the firewall is set to high which prevents WAN ping?
