    Hi,
    I've reviewed the LnS logs from past few days and spotted some repeating attacks/ connection attempts from the same IP addresses. Hence, decided to block these IPs and created certain rules. However, these seem not working; the attacks from given IPs are blocked by other rules (as so far), which - to my perspective - shouldn't be the case, since I placed new rules on the top of the Internet filtering ruleset. At first I put the concerned IPs in both directions (as a source and target), but it didn't worked, so changed only into source addresses. Didn't succeed either :-(

    I checked the user manual but this case is unfortunately not described therein.

    I enclose the screenshots of two of the created rules (these are maybe not of best quality - images saved through Paintbrush). For your acknowledgement, "dowolny/-e" means "any" in Polish.

    Please advice me on how to succeed in creating such rules.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Cheers!

    Hi j_o_m_g :)

    The best place to block an IP or a range of IPs is in the begining of the rules list. An image is better than 1000 words so I'll give you an example of one of my rules. As you see the Destination address must be tour Ip address: @IP.
