Hi, I am new at this, I am really liking the mikrotik’s power. The thing is that well I used to have a Linksys router, and well, the default rule for it was to “not allow” any incomming traffic, and then all the ports that you wanted to allow external access would have to be fowarded in to the router .
how can I achieve, deny incomming traffic ( from the internet of course, from the internal network is ok ) , to the router ?
and how can I do some port fowarding ?
As I said I am new at mikrotik so I don’t really know how to do it, I read some tutorials but I didin’t understand.
Your help is welcome.
Thanks!
For a start you need to wade through the wiki.
Start with this one;
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_Connect_your_Home_Network_to_xDSL_Line
Then regarding your port forward, check this out;

But only after you have understood input, output and forward concepts.
Hope this helps?
Hi..
You can deny all incomming traffic from INTERNET in many ways, one simple and easy way is.
By using Winvox goto IP > Firewall. in Filter Rules, create a new rule by pressing plus sign. Now select chain=INPUT and then select the In. Interface=(interfce connected to INTERNET), then goto ACTION tab and select action=DROP.
Thats all you should do to DROP all incomming traffic from internet.
And about port forwarding follow the link posted by Mr. Hilton
