Event Logging

This setting specifies whether or not to log matched firewall events. The logged messages

are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as follows:

Aug 13 23:47:44 Denied CONN=Ethernet WAN SRC=20.3.2.1

DST=192.168.1.20 LEN=48 PROTO=TCP SPT=2260 DPT=80

 CONN: The connection where the log entry refers to

 SRC: Source IP address

 DST: Destination IP address

 LEN: Packet length

 PROTO: Protocol

 SPT: Source port

 DPT: Destination port

Click Save to store your changes. To create an additional firewall rule, click Add Rule

and repeat the above steps.

To change a rule’s priority, simply drag and drop the rule:

 Hold the left mouse button on the rule.

 Move it to the desired position.

 Drop it by releasing the mouse button.

Tip

If the default inbound rule is set to Allow for NAT-enabled WANs, no inbound Allow firewall rules will be required

for inbound port forwarding and inbound NAT mapping rules. However, if the default inbound rule is set as Deny,

a corresponding Allow firewall rule will be required.
