It is important to be mindful of the order of traffic rules. The rules can always be rearranged by simply clicking on the symbol on the left side of the rule and dragging the rule where it is needed. You can also change the configuration of each rule by finding your rule in the traffic rules and pressing a '''‘pencil’''' button to edit settings.<br>

<br>Let’s imagine that we would like to restrict traffic for this LAN network (192.168.1.0/24) and only one host needs to have access to the web server (185.11.24.37) on the internet. To achieve this, traffic rules could be configured.

The '''‘Accept forward’''' indicates the action (accept). The slider on the right side shows that the rule is enabled.

To open a port for only one host on LAN you would need to create 2 traffic rules. One rule to block LAN traffic from accessing the port on device, and the second rule to allow only a single host to access that port. Both rules have similarities. The steps below describe how to create and configure both rules with differences mentioned.

The slider on the right side shows that the rule is enabled. Drag the second rule to be above the first rule, so the traffic from the host is matched against it and is allowed to access the device on port 5000. All other traffic from the local network coming to port 5000 on the router will be dropped because it will match the second rule. For example, if port is set to 53 (a port used by DNS), only this host would be allowed to use DNS service running on the device. Similarly, if the ports are set to 80 and 443, only that specific IP address will be able to access the WebUI of the device.<br>
