Firewall Rules for Internet/WAN -> LAN on IPv4 and IPv6, LAN -> WAN/Internet for IPv4 and IPv6
Amazing Orbi, Orbo Pro, Nighthawk Routers, DSL Routers, Mobile Routers have service blocking (only for IPv4 why ever) - limiting the LAN -> Internet access (why ever somebody want to do this) but the...
Mind Blown: The "filter services" feature greys out settings for blocking ONLY IPV4 internal network addresses! Why? Norton does this. Windows firewall does this. When we paid all that money for an ORBI, I figure it would have more features than a $70 security appliance. So, help me understand the logic of not allowing this for home users? Should I use the "Key Word" feature to block specific IP addresses? Or, is this appliance so good at what it does, that businesses would by it on an enterprise level, for that feature alone, and you don't want it to compete with your other appliances that you charge 10's of thousands for?
IF you specifically disallow this, you should lead with that! Seems a little unethical and bait-and-switchy...
Another problem I have is the SSL feature. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a native encryption to go along with your settings UI? Not cool.
Other than that, great product. Love it!
