Firewall Rules to Control Network Access
Your modem router has a firewall that blocks unauthorized access to your wireless network
and permits authorized inbound and outbound communications. Authorized communications
are established according to inbound and outbound rules. The firewall has the following two
default rules. You can create custom rules to further restrict the outbound communications or
more widely open the inbound communications:
•
Inbound
. Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.
•
Outbound
. Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside.
Configure Firewall Rules
The Firewall Rules screen lets you configure custom rules to make exceptions to the default
rules. Exceptions can be based on the service or application, source or destination IP
addresses, and time of day. You can log traffic that matches or does not match the rule and
change the order of rule precedence. See
Set Up Services
on page
48 for information about
services.
All traffic attempting to pass through the firewall is subjected to the rules in the order shown in
the Rules table from the top (highest precedence) to the default rules at the bottom. In some
cases, the order of precedence is important to determine which communications are allowed
into or out of the network.

Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding)
Because the modem router uses Network Address Translation (NAT), your network presents
only one IP address to the Internet, and outside users cannot directly address any of your
local computers. However, by defining an inbound rule you can make a local server (for
example, a Web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet.
The rule tells the modem router to direct inbound traffic for a particular service to one local
server based on the destination port number. This is also known as port forwarding. Allowing
inbound services opens holes in your firewall. Enable only those ports that are necessary for
your network. The following are two examples of inbound rules.

Note:
Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not let you run server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your
ISP might periodically check for servers and suspend your account if
it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure,
refer to the acceptable use policy of your ISP.
Inbound Rule Example: A Local Public Web Server
If you host a public Web server on your local network, you can define a rule to allow inbound
Web (HTTP) requests from any outside IP address to the IP address of your Web server at
any time of day, as shown here and described following the figure:
The settings are:
•
Service
. From this list, select the application or service you want to allow or block. The
list already displays many common services, but you are not limited to these choices.
Use the Services screen to add any additional services or applications that do not already
appear. See
Set Up Services
on page
48.
•
Action
. Choose how you want to handle this type of traffic. You can block or allow
always, or you can block or allow according to the schedule you have defined in the
Schedule screen, described in
Schedule Services
on page
50.
•
Send to LAN Server
. Enter the IP address of the computer or server on your LAN that
receives the inbound traffic covered by this rule.
•
WAN Users
. These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on
their source (WAN) IP address:
-
Any
. All IP addresses are covered by this rule.
-
Address range
. If this option is selected, you must fill in the Start and Finish fields.
-
Single address
. Enter the required address in the Start field.
