Port Forwarding settings
What does the "Allow on Firewall" section in Port Forwarding settings mean?
Is it possible to set up Port Forwarding with a limited number of IP addresses?
-
I have this same question... I would like to allow a port to forward to a wan device but only from one or two source (incoming) IP addresses, not for the entire world.
Is this possible on my gold device? If so, how to set this up? If not, can this feature be on the roadmap?
My previous setup allowed such limiting as an option but I have not found it here yet.
Thanks for your help!

The key is not to use the "allow on firewall" when doing port forwarding. Then use the rules to manually create the rules you want to allow inside.

Hello.
I want to port forward only certain IP addresses.

I set it up like this page so that only specific IP addresses can access the local port. Of course, "Allow on Firewall" is turned off.
However, it does not seem to be able to block access from an unspecified number of IP addresses.
If you add a rule that blocks all traffic from the internet, it looks like it's working.
Is this usage suitable? -
The rule "block" all traffic from the internet should be "on" by default. This rule is your ingress firewall, it will block any connections from outside, but do allow anything from inside to go outside. Unless you know what you are doing, this rule should not be turned off.
So to secure incoming port forward, make sure you do not remove or pause the block all traffic from internet rule, and follow the doc https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500009502622
