Hello, i have TP link TL-WR841ND wireless N router.


This is how my setup now is ,

I have static ip address which is now cable connected to server. so practically server is open to the public. I think its not secure.

What i want to do is place the TP link router before the server and block all the un invited visitors from outside network. server has static ip because our accounting software works internally and externally outside our office.


So i connect my router to cable modem and i enter WAN information (which is form my ISP) and i create local network with 192.168. ip range.


So far the connection works well and i was able to connect to internet via router. also i have enabled all built in firewalls in router.

01. Since i am not hacker, i need to see how secure this firewall options added to my network. is there any way to test it ?

02. How can i open port 22 in this router ?

03. Is it possible for disable all the ping commands that coming from outside ?

thank you for in advance

best regards
