Is there any way to block specific device from WAN?
I have a gateway serving z-wave connected LEDs around the house. The product became abandonware so the cloud service was discontinued but I found out how to operate it on my LAN and used a Raspberry ...

Not by MAC then. I guess it means reserving an IP for the gateway and entering that? I will try it at the weekend. Thanks.
Yes. You figured it out! :smileyhappy:
Pick a range of consecutive IP addresses for reservation in case you want to block more than one devices.
BWT, only need to worry about TCP/UDP ports if you want to block a specific application like email/torrent/etc. In your case, you want to block all, so select the big hammer from the drop down menu.
One more suggestion.
- First, create a schedule rule, by default it's every day, 7 days a week.
- After you add one or range of IP to block, select bock by schedule and select the schedule you've just created.
