      My situation is this, I need to access a service behind a Public static IP, but thinking about security:

      INTERNET___ WAN__>>>>SINGLE HOST
                              NAT with PORT FORWARD

      the NAT RULE work:

      WAN 	TCP/UDP 	* 	* 	WAN address 	5555 	SINGLEHOST 	destport
      

      I've added the rules in the WAN tab with:

      
      IPv4 TCP/UDP 	* 	* 	SINGLEHOST 	destport		* 	none  TO DEST	  
      IPv4 TCP/UDP 	* 	* 	WAN address 	        5555         	* 	none  TO BE NATTED
      

      and everything seems to be ok.

      Are there any chances to add MAC filter to WAN address incoming connections?

        The MAC address of incoming WAN packets will always be the MAC address of your upstream router. MAC addresses are layer 2 and do not get routed.
