Firewall Settings

The router firewall controls the forward packet streams from incoming network interfaces to outgoing network interfaces. Firewall rules add another layer of granularity to what can be forwarded across interfaces and which packets can be inputted and outputted.
The firewall collects interfaces into zones to filter traffic logically. A zone can be configured to any set of interfaces. This simplifies the firewall rule logic somewhat by conceptually grouping the interfaces:
A rule for a packet originating in a zone must enter the router on one of the zone's interfaces,
A rule for a packet being forwarded to a zone must exit the router on one of the zone's interfaces.
After accessing the router, go to "Network > Firewall" to enter the "Firewall - Zone Settings." The "SYN-Flood Protection" is enabled by default. You can use the default firewall zone settings in most conditions.

Port forwarding applies network address translation (NAT) and redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination. Port Forwarding allows remote computers to connect the outdoor router within a private local-area network (LAN).
To enable port forwards, "Forward" options must be allowed under the "General Settings" tab of the firewall zones. Then click the "Save & Apply" button to take effect.
➀ Replace "Forward" with "Accept" in the general settings section. ➁ Scroll down to the "Zones" section and update the Forward column in the WAN row to "Accept."
After accessing the router, go to "Network > Firewall > Traffic Rules: Open port on router" to add a new port on the 4G router.
Name: Input name of the new port
Protocol: Choose from TCP or UDP
External port: The new port number
After entering the above parameters, click the "Add" button. Then click the "Save & Apply" button on the bottom right corner. You will find the new port on the "Traffic Rules" list.
