Blocking Services

The router allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by PCs on your network. You
can block specific services or filter by IP address or by a range of IP addresses. You can block
these services all the time or set blocking for certain days and times.
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game
hosts serve data about other players' moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for
service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port
number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For
example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
