IP Filtering

The router supports IP Filtering, which allows you to easily set up rules to control

incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. The router provides two types of IP filtering:

Outgoing IP Filtering and Incoming IP Filtering. Choose IP from the Rule Type drop down

box to configure IP Filtering.

Outgoing IP Filtering

By default, the router allows all outgoing Internet traffic from the LAN but by setting up

Outgoing IP Filtering rules, you can block some users and/or applications from accessing

the Internet.

To create a new outgoing IP filter, click Add. The Add IP Filter-Outgoing page will be

displayed.

Incoming IP Filtering

By default, when NAT is enabled, all incoming IP traffic from WAN is blocked except for

responses to requests from the LAN. However, some incoming traffic from the Internet

can be accepted by setting up Incoming IP Filtering rules.
