IP Filters
IP Filters allows you to block network access based on a user's computer IP Address on
the local LAN. You can use this option to block specific traffic (for e.g., block web access)
or any traffic from a computer on your local network.
If the
Block All Traffic
checkbox is checked, all network traffic from that computer will be
blocked. You can also add, edit or delete IP Filter rules without using the pre-defined
rules.
You will need to use
Custom IP Filters
when specifying IP subnets or IP address that is
not listed under
LAN Clients
. Otherwise, new filters can be defined in the
User Category
of the
Available Rules
, and then mapped to the appropriate WAN connection and LAN IP.
To configure
IP Filters
, follow the steps below.

From the
Advanced

apply the rule. If your IP address is not listed, click the

used for IP Filtering.
