This is for incoming connections from out. Basically, we want to have only a list of MAC addresses to access the services on these ports and the rest cannot access these ports. Is this possible?

Hello Shunze,
Thank you for your response.
I tried exactly that. I created a MAC List in MAC Host. But it still blocks the devices. However, if I set it using allowed IP address then it works fine. It does not seem to filter by the MAC
Sorry, I get wrong with your requirement.
You want to filter the incoming MAC from WAN.
But the source MAC was replaced after they pass through router.
So it is impossible to filter the incoming MAC from WAN.
I apology for misunderstanding...
Hi David,
The request from WAN will be replaced with the MAC address of your ISP router or any L3 device in your WAN. So if you block that MAC address ,no internet access .

I see. Alright then, is there any other way I can restrict access to a set of devices only?
