Block inbound traffic.

[DerekVM]

Can the WNDR be configured to block only a specific IP (or range of IP’s) from accessing a port if the port is open via port forwarding?

If not does Netgear offering a solution for allowing inbound traffic to a specific port, while simultaneously blocking traffic from know bad IP’s?

I see a lot of these entries in the log:
[LAN access from remote] from 58.218.199.250:1496 to 192.168.x.yppp, Wednesday, Jun 13,2012 09:56:59

I want to allow traffic inbound on port pppp to the specified IP 192.168.x.y, but not from this IP (or IP's in a similar range).

Can the WNDR4500 alone do this or do I need additional hardware?

if option was there under inbound rules you can add WAN IP.

it's common that option to enter WAN IP is not there for home end routers. Prosafe router does

No option available for WAN under Inbound rules.

Am I correct in interpreting this as WNDR4500 does not offer this functionality, but ProSafe router would? Any model or just any Prosafe router?


I also have a GS108T, which is Prosafe, but not between router and outside world. The switch is for some LAN traffic, but not all LAN traffic goes through this switch.

any newest prosafe has it's options

you can look 4500 manual but don't think it has it. I don't own one so can give you hard fact on this

Opted for the FVS318. Looks like it has better control over traffic access.

Fvs318N is good choice
