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 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.

6.4.1 Port Forwarding Rules

A port forwarding rule allows traffic from the

internet to reach a computer on the inside of your

network. For example, a port forwarding rule might

be used to run a Web server.

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

Click Add to create a new port forwarding rule.
