This article contains instructions o how to block Internet access for LAN clients using a Teltonika-Networks device.

Blocking WAN (Internet) access

Access between your end device and other networks is controlled by your network device's (router, gateway) firewall. Therefore, in order to set networks access limitations you will need to modify the firewall configuration. In the Teltonika-Networks devices this can be done over the Network → Firewall page.

To access the Firewall page, you must first switch to 'Advanced' WebUI mode:
