<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.

Two traffic rules would be required for this scenario:

Create and configure the first rule to block all local traffic to WAN network.

Create and configure the second rule to allow the host to access the web server:
Create and configure the second rule to allow the host to access the web server:
*In the source IP address enter the IP address of the host in '''LAN''' that you wish to allow to access the web server. In this example, the IP address of PC2 is '''192.168.1.11'''.
*In the source IP address enter the IP address of the host in '''LAN''' that you wish to allow to access the web server. In this example, the IP address of PC2 is '''192.168.1.11'''.
*In the destination address field, enter the IP address of the web server, which is '''185.11.24.37''' in this example.
*In the destination address field, enter the IP address of the web server, which is '''185.xxx.xxx.xxx''' in this example.
*In the destination port field add ports '''’80’''' and '''‘443’'''. These are '''HTTP''' and '''HTTPS''' port numbers that are used for communication with a web server.
*In the destination port field add ports '''’80’''' and '''‘443’'''. These are '''HTTP''' and '''HTTPS''' port numbers that are used for communication with a web server.
*In the action field choose '''‘Accept’'''.<br>
*In the action field choose '''‘Accept’'''.<br>
These rules indicates that traffic from the host '''192.168.1.11''' in '''LAN''' destined to the IP address of 185.11.24.37 on ports '''80''' and '''443''' in '''WAN''' must be accepted. The '''‘Accept forward’''' indicates the action (accept). The slider on the right side shows that the rule is enabled. The rule is above the Deny-LAN-WAN rule, so that traffic from host 192.168.1.11 (PC2) matches the first rule and is accepted. Traffic from other hosts in LAN will match the second rule and will be dropped.

The rule indicates that TCP traffic coming from the host '''138.199.19.170''' in the '''WAN''' to the device (router) on ports '''80''' and '''443''' will be accepted. The '''‘Accept input’''' indicates the action (accept). The slider on the right side shows that the rule is enabled.
The rule indicates that TCP traffic coming from the host '''84.xxx.xxx.xxx''' in the '''WAN''' to the device (router) on ports '''80''' and '''443''' will be accepted. The '''‘Accept input’''' indicates the action (accept). The slider on the right side shows that the rule is enabled.
In this scenario, only the host 138.199.19.170 will be able to access the WebUI of the router via it’s public IP. Similarly, if the port is set to 22 instead of 80 and 443, the remote host would be able to connect to the device via SSH, but not WebUI.

This rule indicates that the PC with mac address of '''00:00:5e:00:53:af''' will not be able to send traffic to '''WAN'''. The '''‘Discard forward’''' indicates the action (drop). The rule does not show the times at which this rule is applied, but the times can be found on the settings page ('''‘Pencil’''' button). This rule will be applied for the first time on the 12th of February, 2023. Then, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM this PC will not be able to send traffic to '''WAN'''.
