2.6.1 Access Control List
If you want to restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e.g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc.),
this is the place to set that configuration. Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN. You
can control which PC client can have access to these services.
Parameters Description
Policy
User can choose to log or not to log packets which match any configured ACL.
Direction/IP
Ingress means packets from LAN to Gateway and Egress means packets from Gateway to
WAN. Pay special attention to the “egress, source ip/port” direction group. The source ip
address of an lan-to-wan packet will be already changed to gateway’s public ip address.
That means if you created a system-wise egress rule, please specifying the Gateway WAN
ip address as the source IP.
Type
Specify the traffic type here. You can pick TCP for TCP traffic, UDP for UDP traffic, or IP for
all kind of IP traffic.
Port
Specify the TCP/UDP port number for filtered traffic.
