      Hello,

      I have a computer on my LAN that I do not want to be able to communicate with the WAN at all. How can I configure a rule to completely block this single computer from the internet, while allowing the rest of the LAN WAN connectivity?

      I've tried a # of different things in rules but none seem to particularly work :-\

      Regards,
      JohnVM

        Create a rule on your LAN interface set to block with a source IP address of the computer you want to deny access to.
        Make sure you move this rule above the default allow rule or the traffic will be passed before the block rule is processed.
