Port Filtering
Port filtering allows you to define port filters to prevent all devices from sending outgoing TCP/UDP
traffic to the WAN on specific IP port numbers. By specifying a starting and ending port range, you can
determine what TCP/UDP traffic is allowed out to the WAN on a per-port basis.
Note: The specified port ranges are blocked for ALL computers, and this setting is not IP address or MAC
address specific. For example, if you wanted to block all computers on your home network from accessing
HTTP sites (or web surfing), you would create the following port filter and then click Apply when done:
•
Set Start Port to 80
•
Set End Port to 80
•
Set Protocol to TCP
•
Select Enabled
