3.4 LAN IP Filter

The Lan IP Filter page of your Configuration Manager lets you

define a set of rules for restricting access from the Local Area

Network to the WAN. Typical uses for a LAN filter are to

implement a corporate firewall, to prevent certain computers from

being able to access the Internet, or to set parental controls by

denying a particular WAN IP address to the specified LAN
address.
For example, let’s say you are a parent who wants to prevent your

child from viewing a certain web site. You will select the Enable

check box, type the address of the objectionable web site in the

WAN IP Address field (see instructions below), type the address
