5.4 Custom Filters

5.4.1 Description

Custom Filters allow new rules to be added to the firewall to 
allow or deny specific packets. Packets can be matched based 
on which of the unit's network interfaces they arrive on or 
will leave on, the protocol, the source or destination address.

Some example custom filters are:

A filter than only allows traffic from a particular host on 

• 

the WAN to access through to the LAN ports.
A filter that drops all traffic from a particular host on the 

• 

WAN.

To select the Custom Filters page click the Custom Filters tab
