**Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources** ( thanks @theWalkingDuck )
this is/was the only default ABE rule in Noscript:
```
# Noscript
# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
```
We can easily rewrite it in the uMatrix way:
```
[Source] * -> any external resource
[Destination] 127.0.0.1 -> which tries to access the localhost or local resources
[Content] * -> whatever the request or the requested content is ..
[action] block -> should be BLOCKED
```
```
# uMatrix
# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
* 127.0.0.1 * block
* localhost * block
* [::1] * block ### block access to ipv6 localhost
* 192.168 * block ### block access to LAN 192.168.x.x
```
The best practice is to use a separate browser for accessing local resources or using a temporary allow if needed ... but for those who need it permanently:
```
# uMatrix
# Accept from LOCAL
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 * allow
localhost localhost * allow
[::1] [::1] * allow
192.168 192.168 * allow
```
btw, don't forget to remove the `matrix-off: localhost true` rule.
