how do you block a specific port on airport extreme

I'd like to prevent access to World of Warcraft during daylight hours so that my house squatter will actually do something productive during the day. Any ideas?


Thanks!

There isn't a direct way to block ports on the AirPort routers. One possible workaround is to use Port Mapping to direct a single or multiple ports to a 'unused' local IP address ... like 10.0.1.255 that would be above the default DHCP range of the base station. Be aware that this would 'block' these port for every user.


To get an idea on how to set up port mapping, please check out the following AirPort User Tip.
