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>

These rules indicate that traffic from the host '''192.168.1.11''' in '''LAN''' destined to the IP address of '''185.xxx.xxx.xxx''' 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 new rules are created and enabled. To verify, go to the last page in '''‘Traffic rules’''' and verify that the rule is configured correctly and is enabled. These rules indicate that any traffic coming from host '''192.168.1.11''' in the '''LAN''' to port '''5000''' on the device will be accepted. 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>
