Set 450R Router to only allow OPEN DNS

Set 450R Router to only allow OPEN DNS

Actually XR450 Gaming router.

I am seeing attacks come in on port 53 to one of my pc inside my network. I want to block it at the router.

 

Open DNS

The recommenation is to

ALLOW TCP/UDP IN/OUT to 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 on Port 53

and

BLOCK TCP/UDP IN/OUT all IP addresses on Port 53
 

However I only see content filtering. I can block all of 53, but I don't see how to allow the above.

Am I missing something?

 

I did a quick search, and did not find anything related, if there is another thread please mock me and list the link and I will read.

I appreciate the help .

Sounds like Norton is mistakenly taking the routers IP address as an attack. 

I would try to disable Norton or remove Norton and setup MS Security Essentials and MalwareBytes as a 2ndary security apps and then enable firewall on the PC and see if either of these pick up an actual attack or something coming from the router. Only attacks that would come from the WAN side or internet would be and should be caught by the routers firewall. 

 

Look at the logs on the router to see if there are any such attacks being reported by the router from the WAN side.

I would agree with FURRYs diagnosis above, this appears to be a misclassification of an attack. It would also be a bad idea to block all traffic other than those IPs on that port - Xbox Live uses this port as well as Apple devices for some services such as FaceTime - might not apply to you but you get the point.
