Hi;
My first firewall rule states
"GroupAllBlockedHosts" on any service, destination Any -> Drop.
The group, "GroupAllBlockedHosts" contains multiple Network Definitions all along the following lines.
name->Block 203.45.0.0/16, type->network, interface->any,
ip4add->203.45.0.0, netmask->/16 (255.255.0.0)
I would expect that this being the first firewall rule, that any traffic
coming from one of the listed ip's within the range would be blocked.
But I keep finding that when I look at my Pop3 Proxy log, hosts within
this range ie: 203.45.23.188 would be blocked and not trying 20,000
times a day to access my mail server behind the firewall, like such...
excerpt from pop3 proxy log
2011:10:21-10:35:00 tspoon pop3proxy[30703]: Accepted client
connection from 203.45.23.188 for 14.201.129.252
2011:10:21-10:35:01 tspoon pop3proxy[30595]: Connection to
remote server failed: PASS for user barbara failed on remote
server: -ERR Authentication failed.
The Group "GroupAllBlockedHosts" also gets used in several other locations
Used in these configurations:
Mail Security -> SMTP -> Relaying
Network Security -> NAT -> DNAT/SNAT
Network Security -> Firewall -> Rules
Used by these objects:
01) Network Security -> Firewall -> Rules -> Any from Z-All Blocked Hosts to Any
Network Security -> Firewall -> Rules
02) Network Security -> NAT -> DNAT/SNAT -> Any from Z-All Blocked Hosts to Any
Network Security -> NAT -> DNAT/SNAT
The Dnat rule is the first rule, and states the following
DNAT [BlackHole]
Traffic selector: Z-All Blocked Hosts -> Any -> Any
Destination translation: Blackhole (192.168.11.200 Non-existant network)
Automatic Firewall rule:
Initial packets are logged:
A couple of questions.
1. Is there a limit to the amount of definitions that can be included within
a group, currently I have 63 individual definitions in the
"GroupAllBlockedHosts" group
2. With all the block/drop, or redirect to a black hole, why am I seeing
entries for ip addresses in my pop3 proxy log.
3. What else do I need to provide so people can better help me work out
what I've got wrong. :-)
