•By enabling the Block WANRequest feature, you can prevent your network
from being “pinged,” or detected, by other Internet users. The Block WAN
Request feature also reinforces your network security by hiding your net-
work ports. Both functions of the Block WANRequest feature make it more
difficult for outside users to work their way into your network.

IP Filtering
IP Filters block specific internal users from accessing the Internet and enable
VPN (Virtual Private Network) sessions. You can set up filters by using IP
addresses or network port numbers (or a range of ports).
Setting Up Filters
•To set up a filter using IP addresses, enter the range of IP addresses you
wish to filter into the IP address fields. Users who have filtered IP address-
es will not be able to access the Internet at all. If you only want to filter
one IP address instead of a range of IP addresses, enter the same value into
both fields. For instance, if you wish to filter the PC with the IP address of
192.168.1.5, enter 5into both fields on one line: 192.168.1.5~ 192.168.1.5.
Click Apply when you’re done.
•To filter users by network port number, enter a network port number or a
range of network ports. Enter the port numbers you want to filter into the
port numbers fields. Users connected to the Router will no longer be able
to access any port number listed there.
