Navigate to IP > Firewall from the sidebar, then go to the Filter Rules tab from the top 2. Select Add new 3. Set `Dst. Address` to the internal IP you want to allow traffic to 4. Set `Protocol` to `6 (tcp)` 5. Set `Dst. Port` to the port you want to allow traffic through 6. Set `In. Interface List` to `all` (I'm sure this isn't the most correct option), but it works 7.
