Inbound Filter
When you use the Virtual Server, Port Forwarding, or Remote Administration
features to open specific ports to traffic from the Internet, you could be
increasing the exposure of your LAN to cyber attacks from the Internet. In these
cases, you can use Inbound Filters to limit that exposure by specifying the IP
addresses of internet hosts that you trust to access your LAN through the ports
that you have opened.
Inbound Filters can be used for limiting access to a server on your network to a
system or group of systems. Filter rules can be used with Virtual Server, Gaming,
or Remote Administration features.
