Firewall Tab
The Firewall Tab allows you to configure software security features like SPI (Stateful Packet
Inspection) Firewall, IP based Access List, restriction LAN users on Internet (WAN port)
access, and NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) Settings (only works when NAT is
enabled) to limited services to specific ports.
Note that for WAN traffic, NAPT settings are applied first, then it will pass the SPI Firewall
settings, followed by IP based Access List (which requires more CPU power).
