If there are no rules in the forwarding chain the router will route all paths. You can either treat the device as a firewall type device or a router type device.
If you are treating it as a firewall device place a "drop all" rule in the forwarding chain (action = drop, no selection criteria) then above that place rules for the traffic that is to be allowed.
If you are treating it as a router then you can simply enter "drop" rules in the forwarding chain for traffic paths that you wish to block.
