A sample IP filter set
This section contains the settings for a filter set called Basic Firewall, which is part of the Netopia R7100's
factory configuration.
Basic Firewall blocks undesirable traffic originating from the WAN (in most cases, the Internet), but passes all
traffic originating from the LAN. It follows the conservative "that which is not expressly permitted is prohibited"
approach: unless an incoming packet expressly matches one of the constituent input filters, it will not be
forwarded to the LAN.
