Feature Request: Custom Firewall Rules
I would like to request the ability to add custom firewall rules be added to the Archer A7 firmware. I recently purchased the A7 and am surprised it doesn't support this - even my junk router from my ISP allows it. Otherwise pretty happy with the A7 so far.
Custom firewall rules allow the user to specify a source address/range/port(s), destination address/range/port(s), protocol, and action. Port forwarding/Virtual Server lets me configure allow traffic (but still missing features), but I have no way to block access. For example, custom firewall rules would let me:
- Block security/IP cameras from communicating outside of my network
- Allow an internal application to only be accessed by a specific external IP
- Block an internal server/device from any communication over x port
- etc
Thanks for your consideration. I can provide more details if needed. Another user recently had a similar request which would probably be solved by this: https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/160521
