12.4.2 WAN to LAN Rules
The default rule for WAN to LAN traffic blocks all incoming connections (WAN to LAN). If you wish to
allow certain WAN users to have access to your LAN, you will need to create custom rules to allow it.
See the following figure.
12.5 Enabling Firewall
The ordering of your rules is very important as rules are applied in turn.
The default rules allow LAN-to-WAN traffic and deny traffic initiated from WAN-to-LAN. You may
block traffic initiated from the LAN by configuring blocked services in the Services screen. You may
allow traffic initiated from the WAN by configuring port-forwarding rules, one-to-one/many one-to-one
mapping rules and/or allow remote management.
The firewall is automatically enabled when you configure blocked services. When you configure a
remote management menu to allow access to the 1500WR Wireless Router, a firewall rule (WAN-to-
WAN) is automatically created.
