I have a 30E that I am intending to place in front of my mail server. It is running in a  basic NAT configuration, and I will be forwarding ports 25,465,587 and 993 to the internal server. I have enabled security profiles (SSL inspect, AV, antispam, etc) on the LAN-WAN IPv4 policy. Do I still need to enable profiles on the port forwarding policies? My gut feeling is yes....

    Hi

     

    you can use IPS profile from WAN to LAN policy.

     

    this will help to protect from external attack.

    enabling IPS may increase cpu Load
