Inbound Filters
The Inbound Filters option is an advanced method of controlling data received from the Internet. With
this feature you can configure inbound data filtering rules that control data based on IP Address,
Protocol, and/or Port.
The Inbound Filter option is best suited for custom applications. For most applications you should use
Virtual Server, Special Applications, or the Gaming section to create rules that will allow applications
to communicate through the router.
Add/Edit Inbound Filter Rule

Enter a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.
The rule can be set to either allow or deny applicable messages.

a rule is enforced.
