Does Gargoyle block traffic from the WAN by default?

Post by Peter »

Good day -

I run a TP-Link Archer c7 v2 with Gargoyle 1.10 installed. I recently put in fibre, and my service provider has retained control of the fibre internet router and can access it remotely. My TP-Link sits on my side of that and is the hub for my internal network.

I want to ensure that those with access to the fibre router (and anyone else external) can't access my internal network. Looking at the Gargoyle firewall setup I see and use the outgoing restriction rules, but don't see anywhere to review or configure rules controlling traffic inbound from the WAN.

Does Gargoyle block inbound traffic by default? Do I perhaps have to install a package to control this?

Thanks,
Peter

Gargoyle is a secure firewall by default

It is possible to mis-configure your router and open ports etc
