Model: Archer C9  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I want to be able to access my Linux desktop from my phone from outside my lan, which I'm actually doing without problem.  However, I get lots of attempts from hackers, who so far have never been able to get in, but I'd feel better if they could be blocked.

 

Ideally, I'd like to whitelist a device like my phone by MAC address.  I have a rule set up for that, but I don't see how to use it for what I want.  My first attempt simply blocked everything except my phone from using the internet, which is not desirable.  Is there a way to block incoming traffic from the WAN side, but not block outgoing?

Ideally you would need to Access Control IP or MAC based.  Remotely MAC will be your best bet.
