Bypassing Countries in Rules?

I have country blocking turned on with a few countries being blocked. I have a vmware machine that is dedicated to downloading music, movies, etc or whatever the case may be.

I had to create a dnat and some packet rules to allow some traffic inbound/outbound. However when I look at my monitor I still see some traffic being blocked and labled "country blocked". Is there a way I can still keep country blocking ON, but almost have like an exception somewhere for my VMWARE machine so it would bypass the country blocking feature as a whole?

There currently is no bypass or exception feature for country blocking. Country blocking takes place before any other security component of Astaro, so PF or NAT rules won't allow traffic for a country that has been blocked. If you need to access a server in a country for which you having blocking enabled, you'll need to unblock that country.

If you think that an exception list for country blocking would be useful, you can make a feature request at http://feature.astaro.com/forums/17359-astaro-security-gateway-feature-requests.
