INBOUND PACKET FILTER
The following will describe the Inbound filter; the Outbound filter works in the
same way, except:
• The inbound filter evaluates all packets that pass through the Virtual Serv-
ers or DMZ host. See Chapter 6 (Advanced) of this manual for more infor-
mation on these features.
• The outbound filter applies to all traffic from the LAN side of the router
(ports 1-4).
Tip: As a parental control (or “business control”), you can limit access to web-
sites by specifying their IP addresses and port 80.
Inbound Packet Filter
Uncheck the Enable checkbox to turn off all the Inbound filters (even the ones
that are individually checked as Enabled.)
Allow (or Deny) all packets...
Allow means that all inbound packets to the virtual server and DMZ will be al-
lowed except the ones defined by the following rules. Choose Deny to exclude
all inbound packets except those matching the following rules.
ID
The router will automatically number each rule for you. You may define up to 8
rules.
Source IP
You may limit incoming traffic by IP address. Leave this field blank if you want
the rule to apply to all IP addresses.
