      Hi, i would like to give PPTP access to my lan to a friend that uses the same ISP as i have, so the source address is a RFC1918 one and gets blocked by the special rule defined on the WAN interface configuration (Block private networks).

      It's not possible to define a rule to allow just that address and place it before  this special rule. Is there any other solution apart from allowing ALL private networks?

        RFC1918 includes only three ranges of addresses.  Just uncheck the block rule and create your own rfc1918 block rule with the pass rule for your friends IP ahead of it.
