Filter Example
A filter for blocking a specific client
If you want to forbid a specific local client from triggering a call to ISP, you can configure a call filter set in Prestige to block the packets from this client. After the call filter is applied, the packet that is sent from this client would not trigger the call to your ISP or remote node. As long as the call is triggered by the other clients and the Internet connection is established, this workstation will be able to access the Internet or remote node.
