Ping a Device and Allow or Deny the Device a Connection

radius of your Geo Filter. If you allow an individual connection, the device can connect
to your device, even if is outside the radius of your Geo Filter. If you deny an individual
connection, the device cannot connect to your device, even if is inside the radius of
your Geo Filter. However, you cannot block a dedicated server.

router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
