WAN to LAN filter

Being uncertain that the AC66U is indeed blocking Netbios and SMB ports from WAN access, how would I setup a rule that achieved this while still allowing access to these ports over the LAN? Network Services Filter seems to only manage LAN to WAN connections!

So long you keep the firewall enabled, there won't be any open port related to SMB.

Thanks for the response, RMerlin, it's good to know this is not a security concern.

It's quite encouraging to receive a response from the F/W author, now, if I post in a Windows forum, will I get a reply from Bill Gates I think not

A better variant IMHO, anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply to the OP!
