Blocking WAN -> LAN Traffic

Blocking WAN -> LAN Traffic

According to previous posts, the NightHawk Router should already be blocking WAN -> LAN access but it isn't. I have a IP SIP phone on my internal network that is constantly getting hit with request on port 5060 causing it to ring. I have disabled UPnP and don't have DMZ or port forwarding active yet I am still getting access thru to my phone. 

 

Any Ideas or assitance to help block this??

 

Here is a snip of the log:

Re: Blocking WAN -> LAN Traffic

Hi rhazelwood2015,

 

1. What is the model number of your router?

2. What is the firmware version? Make sure it is updated.

3. Reset the router after the update and reconfigure(If firmware is not updated).

4. Block port 5060 under block services.

Re: Blocking WAN -> LAN Traffic

Sorry for the late reply, I just began ignoring the issue but at this point starting today I have someone consistentely slamming my phone. I almost want to throw my router out the window....There is NO REASON why outside access should be getting to my internal IP

 

I have the lastest firmware installed.

My router is the Nighthawk R7000

And I cannot block port 5060 because that is the port that is required for SIP. It disables my phone from working period.

Re: Blocking WAN -> LAN Traffic

Can't help much - just put the facts on the table again:

 

1. Service blocking is to prohibit connections established from the (W)LAN to the WAN. Online Genie help is very clear on this.

2. Year 2017, and there is still no UI control to configre WAN to (W)LAN firewall rules in any Netgear Genie router (!!!)

When it comes to SIP, arfaid, you might be wrong. Unless you dont wan't to be called (plus some more...), fully blocking the SIP port for WAN->LAN is not a choice. Assuming all your VoIP traffic is handeld by a single or larger scale IPPBX resp. it's gateway(s), and no direct peer-to-peer calls are allowed, you could limit the WAN->LAN for the SIP port(s) to the known IPPBX/IPPBX gateway IP addresses. But now you - no, many of us - are hit by the #2 above.

 

@JamesGL I'm glad to offer basic networking training to Netgear - there are a lot of processes and almost 20+ year router specs carried forward to be changed for the 21st Century.

 

Regards,

-Kurt
