Configuring a Filter Rule-URL Blocking
You can limit access to the WAN from PCs on your LAN, or limit
access from the W AN to your LAN using filter rules that can be
configured on your UT-300R2 ADSL router. The UT-300R2
router will examine incoming and outgoing packets to determine
if they meet the requirements you specify in the Filter rule, a nd
then either Allow or Deny access based upon the rule you
have configu red. These rules can be based on IP addresses,
MAC addresses, URLs, Domain names, and TCP/UDP port
numbers. In addition, you ca n specify a rule to apply to packets
from your LAN to the WAN (Internet), from the WAN to your
LAN, or both.
To co nfigure a filter ru le, click on the Filter button u nder the
