When you click the Security tab, you will see the
Filter
screen. On this screen, set up filters to block specific
internal users from accessing the Internet and enhance your network’s security.
Filter IP Address Range
You can create up to five different IP Address Range filters. To set up a filter using IP addresses, enter the range
of IP addresses you wish to filter in the
Start
and
End
fields. Users who have filtered IP addresses will not be able
to access the Internet at all. If you only want to filter one IP address instead of a range of IP addresses, enter the
same value into both fields. For instance, if you wish to filter the PC with the IP address of 192.168.1.5, enter
5
into both fields on one line: 192.168.1.

Block WAN Requests
Use these features to enhance your network’s security and filter multicasting.

your network security by hiding your network ports, so it is more difficult for intruders to work their way into your
network. Select
Enabled
to block anonymous Internet requests, or
Disabled
to allow anonymous Internet
requests.
