How to add a Kerio Rule to Block an IP Range?

How to add a Rule to Block a specific IP Range? ... (Kerio v.4.2.3)
[Example]
Netrange: 81.9.5.0 - 81.9.5.255 (81.9.5.0/32)

And would this method be the same as blocking one IP Address?
[Example]
85.255.113.173

 

While I have not used the latest version of Kerio, the advanced rules should allow you to manually create such a rule. Is this for outbound, inbound or both?

Creating the rule would be similar, whether single IP is specified or a range.

CrazyM,

For both ...
Well ... I was hoping someone with v. 4.2 would know "How To" ...

 

I am not running Kerio now so I can't check, but I believe in the Network section/tab there is a Packet Filter button. Click that, and in there you can set up all your custom rules. If you want to set up rules for DNS/DHCP/ICMP etc then also make sure you disable the Predefined Rules.

 

Your firewall should already be blocking unsolicited inbounds. Unless you want to log or not log these specifically you should not need an inbound rule.

As Kerodo eluded to, the advanced packet filtering should allow you to create a rule manually. The wizard should be fairly intuitive.

Action: Block
Direction: Outbound
Application: Any
Protocol: Any
Local Port: Any
Remote Address: range 81.9.5.0 - 81.9.5.255
Remote Port: Any
Logging: Enabled
