Virtual server IP filtering not working

Post by V12233 »

Hi,

I bought the 8800NL modem last week and have set it up to share my birdbox webcam feed using virtual servers:

Yesterday I noticed that since I'd put the feed on port 80, there was a lot of data going out of the house because the feed was presumably being viewed... (not by me)! So I'd like to secure it so that only certain IPs can access the feed. Reading the manual and this forum, it seems as if the Exceptional Rule Group is what I'm after, so I've configured one rule group with my own static IP + my web hosting IP and added it to the virtual server rule.

Image

Now I can't see the feed at all... not from my browser or from an iframe page on my hosting website. As soon as I change the Rule group to none on the virtual server rule, I can see things again.

Any idea what I've done wrong?

Thank you
Victoria
