Packet Filter
Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specific internal / external users (IP
address) from Internet access, or disable specific service requests (Port number) to / from the
Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up different filter rules for different users
based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all filters is “or”
operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from
the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.
Rule Name:
User defined description for entry identification. The maximum name length is 32
characters, and then can choose an application that they want from the listbox.
Internal IP Address / External IP Address:
This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic
to/rom particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave these four fields
empty or enter 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.
Protocol:
Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP) that the rule applies to. Select TCP if
you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the remote server using the
port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service on the
remote server using the port number.
Action:
If a packet matches this filter rule, forward (allows the packets to pass) or drop (disallow
the packets to pass) this packet.
Internal Port:
This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN
to connect to the application. Default is set the range from 1 to 65535. It is recommended that this
option be configured by an advanced user.
External Port:
This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.
Direction:
Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.
