How to block JUST outgoing traffic from device?
The device manager allows me to block all traffic on a device. I want to just disable all outgoing traffic, not incoming traffic. Where is the option for this? Thanks.
Not supported by stock firmware
That appears to be the case. Is there any way to just block outgoing traffic from a specific device, or am I SOL here?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Block a
Service or Application From Accessing the Internet". Does some
combination of Block Services, all ports, Only This IP Address, and so
on do what you want? You'd need to use something like Address
Reservation to fix the IP address of the target device.It might help if you described the actual problem which you are
trying to solve.I have a device that automatically sends info to a server. I want to continue to get updates to the device (incoming traffic) but prevent it from sending out data (outgoing traffic). I want to do this all with the router.
