Hello,

I am trying to open open port 443 to my system as follows:

- I created a port forwarding rule to send port 443 to 192.168.2.2 which is my server

- I created an accept Connection filter for any protocol going from three (3) IP addresses to 192.168.2.2.

I then tested from one of the systems with the IP address allowed.above.  It worked.  I then tried from my cell phone with wifi turned off to confirm that it would be blocked.  It let me in from my phone as well WHICH IS NOT WHAT I WANT.  My question:

- How do I allow just these three IP addresses to go through my Verizon gateway? Do I put a "drop all incoming connections" before or after the filter allowing those specific IP addresses?  Can I not put a group of IP addresses in my allow filter?  Short of doing some random testing, I don't know where this is going wrong and I can't find any decent documentation.  Please let me know if you have a way to fix this.

Thanks,

Jeff
