Apologies - this is just so basic.
My network use report list an external server consuming bandwidth that I don't trust. I simply want to block all traffic to and from that server. The network in question has the IP address 117.18.232.x where x is subject to change.
1. I created a network definition for 117.18.232.0/24 called "Bad"
2. I put two rules at the top of the Firewall
a) Any -> Bad then drop and
b) Bad -> Any then drop,
with Any as the protocol in both cases.
I have read various blogs on this problem.
1. I have no SOCKS Proxy defined (not even sure what that is)
2. I have a number of DNAT directives and NAT of course.
That's it. The system is pretty much out of the box.
Naturally I am writing this all because the firewall directives do nothing.
How can I block a pesky IP address?
Any help appreciated.
