How to configure geographical blocking in a SOPHOS XG firewall

JohnVickers

With all the global turmoil we have a desire to block traffic from bad actor countries. Such as China, North Korea, Iran and so forth. Is there a way to do this in the XG firewall?

    Hi,

    yes there is using the predefined country groups. In the GUI - Hosts and Services - Country Groups. You set up an incoming reject rule at the top of your rule list and either select the countries or create your own policy group of countries.

    Out of curiosity: why use a reject rule in stead of a drop rule?

    I'd rather not give any response to these 'attackers'.
