Hi Leon,

Thanks for the response, I am actually in the process of placing my old
router (which this setup worked perfectly with prior to upgrading) in front
of the the station to achieve this. Although I am already encountering
issues as I cannot apply iptables on it unless it’s the active gateway but
I need to play with it more. As for my switch, it is unmanaged and I am not
able to control any ports individually.

Ideally, I would love to limit the amount of equipment running but I think
I am most frustrated my new fancy USG can’t handle some simple iptables.
