WL-500gx WAN & LAN Filter example

[pshah]

Hi folks,

I just bought a WL-500G Deluxe and it's already up running (using the original firmeware 1.8.2.1), but I have some problems with the firewall configuration.

Can somebody provide me with a good example on how to configure the filter rules?
I do not really understand the WAN to LAN filter table configuration and behaviour resp.. How do I properly use SYN, ACK, RST, etc.?

In the LAN to WAN filter table, I added the following:

src | sport | dst | dport | proto
192.168.1.* | | *.*.*.* | 80 | TCP
192.168.1.* | | *.*.*.* | 443 | TCP
192.168.1.* | | *.*.*.* | 110 | TCP
192.168.1.* | | *.*.*.* | 25 | TCP
192.168.1.* | | *.*.*.* | 20:21 | TCP

What other rules would make sense?

Thanks,
Pierce

I use this script at boot and when i change a rule then i start the script and the new rules will be loaded also at the next boot :-)
