6.4 Firewall (Advanced Mode only)
The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond
to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers.
However, some network applications, such as some internet gaming systems, cannot run with a tight firewall. Those
applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function correctly. The options on this page control ways of
opening the firewall to address the needs of specific types of applications.

Port Forwarding Rules

Exercise caution when adding new rules as they impact the security of your network.
