secure port forwarding

Good Evening

 

I was told by netgear that it was possible to create secure port forwarding however I am unable to limit connections to a single IP address.  The port forwarding rules on my desktop have been set up correctly however I need the rule to allow only a connection to a single IP address not to be open to anyone.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?  I have a support ticket open with NETGEAR but they are taking an age to get back to me and haveing this secure port forward rule is essential for my business.

 

Many Thanks

    Exact router model and firmware information please.

     

    Well possible the common Netgear consumer routers don't have such an option to configure firewall rules.

     

    The tagged A7000 is a USB WiFI adapter.
