IP Filters
IP Filters allow 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 (eg, to block web access)
or any traffic from a computer on your local network. If the traffic type is set to Any, all
network traffic from that computer will be blocked. You can also add / edit / delete IP
Filter rules without using the pre-defined rules. Click User, then New to access this
interface.
You will only need to use Custom IP Filters when specifying IP subnets or IP address 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.
