Limit port forwarding to a specific external ip address

[elgros]

Hi all

Is there a way to limit port forwarding and Remote Web Admin Access to a specific external ip address. I would like to manage my router and rdp from my work ip to my home ip through port 3389. Do I need to create a White list or Access restriction? Can you give me an example, I'm not certain how to do it.

Thanks

Denis

You could use iptables like that:

Code: Select all

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -s 1.2.3.4 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DROP

Edit them to your needs and put them in /etc/firewall.user.

Ok thanks n0pin for the info. I was hoping I could do it with the GUI because I don't know how to enter those commands. If its the only way then I will nevermind or I will find a secure remote control software.

Thank you

Denis
