Inbound Filter

When you use the Virtual Server, Port Forwarding, or Remote Administration
features to open specific ports to traffic from the Internet, you could be increasing the
exposure of your LAN to cyberattacks from the Internet. In these cases, you can use
Inbound Filters to limit that exposure by specifying the IP addresses of internet hosts
that you trust to access your LAN through the ports that you have opened.
Inbound Filters can be used for limiting access to a server on your network to a
system or group of systems. Filter rules can be used with Virtual Server, Gaming, or
Remote Administration features.
