Cut connection between LnS and Router

Hello,

first of all, sorry for my bad english.
I there a small/quick option to cut/close the connection between LnS and a router ?

LnS should be still activ in the systray, no data should be send from the pc to the router and data from router to pc should also be blocked.

I hope you understand what I mean

THX,

Hi,

You can create a rule based on the ethernet/MAC address of your router that will block all packets from/to the router.
The rule has to be put at the top of the ruleset. Then clicking the green checkbox on the left of the rule will alternatively (with one click) block/allow the traffic to your router.

Is this the "easiest" way ?

 

Hi, El_Nebuloso

Welcome to Wilders.

There is also this way.

Open the command prompt [go to run>Type> cmd] then type:-

IPCONFIG /release

To Release the IP address for the specified adapter. [stops TCP/IP connections]

IPCONFIG /renew

To Renew the IP address for the specified adapter. [restarts TCP/IP connections]

Hi. El_Nebuloso

Here is a link for you to more ipconfig commands.

Hi @ All,

referring to what Frederic says...

When the ethernet/MAC address of my PC is for example "00:01:02:0a:0b:0c", will this rule be correct ?



Will this rule block all the traffic from my PC to router & from router to PC ?

 

Hi El_Nebuloso

Check this Patrice post about Routers and LNS:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=9474

Normally you have to authorised IGMP packets + UDP packets to enable the connection between the PC and the router...

Hope this help. Let us know.

 

I'm sorry

I want to create a rule, which

DISABLES ANY traffic from PC -> Router
DISABLES ANY traffic from Router -> PC

For example with this adresses...

PC: 192.168.1.2
PC-MAC: 00:01:02:0a:0b:0c

Router: 192.168.1.1
Router-MAC: 0c:0b:0a:02:01:00

Recording to this data, how does the rule have to look ?

(sorry for my bad english - hope you will understand)

THX

 

Buenas noches El_Nebuloso

I create a raw rule for you.

Rename it to remove the.TXT

Import the rule in LNS

Put this rule at the top of the list and check the first column to enabled it when needed.

Save, apply.

Check if it's working. Reboot may be needed before...


Hope this help. Lest us know.



P.S. your english is excellent Señor El_Nebuloso !

Did it's better in spanish?

Creo una regla cruda para ti. Retitularla para quitar the.TXT Importar la regla en LNS Poner esta regla en la tapa de la lista y comprobar la primera columna a permitido te cuando está necesitado. Excepto, aplicarte. Comprobar si está trabajando. El Reboot puede ser necesario antes… Esperar esta ayuda. A fin de sepamos.

 

Buenas noches El_Nebuloso

I just realised that you ask for TWO rules : one PC to Router, one for Router to PC...

Here the rules !

 

BIG THX Climenole !

It works very good.
Thank you !!!

 

Interesting dialog guys, does LnS not have a simple 'Block All' option like most other firewalls that I have used

 

Hi tradetime,

No there is no direct option to block all.

However creating a rule to catch any packet (like the rule at the end of the ruleset), putting this rule on top of the ruleset, and then enabling/disabling the rule (with the checkbox on the left) is equivalent to Block All/Let the packet filter doing its job.

I believe it's about user's conveniences, different firewalls do offer the convenient modes through it's systray icon; 'Block ALL', 'Normal', 'Allow All'

 

Hi El_Nebuloso
