==Helpers==
The <b>Helpers</b> section provides you with the possibility to add firewall exceptions for some VoIP protocols, namely SIP and H.323. In other words, these functions provide a pass-through for VoIP communications between the device's LAN and WAN.


<b>Technical explanation:</b>
FTP, SIP and H.323 protocols are harder to filter by firewalls since they violate layering by introducing OSI layer 3/4 parameters in the OSI layer 7. NAT helpers are modules that are able to assist the firewall in tracking these protocols. These helpers create the so-called expectations that can be used to open necessary ports for RELATED connections. For example, FTP, GRE and PPTP helpers are enabled by default.
