Country blocking broken?

Hi!

I've recently tried to set up inbound country blocking on my XG home installation (updated to the latest MR) according to the KB sample. Therefore I've created the following firewall rule

Source: WAN
Network: (country list including the elements "China" and "Russia")

Target: LAN
Network: Any

Action: Drop

Logging: Log events

I've also moved this rule to the top of the list to ensure that I don't have any conflicting rules.

Now if I try to test these rules with either http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html or some online ICMP tools originating from Russia, I get positive results (where I've expected to see a connection drop). Also I don't see any connection drops or similar events in my log. The "traffic counter" beside my firewall rule is also stalling at "0b/0b".

The chinese test site originates from several different IPs which are clearly based in China (203.130.38.1, for example).

Am I missing something here?

  • Hi Timothy,

    I stand corrected here. LAN > WAN Country Blocking Works I put it at the top of my policies and it seems to come into effect against all my network rules. Device access ACL's also works.

    What appears to be happening is regardless of the Rule Order, when traffic is coming from the WAN > LAN Network/User Rules are ignored and the business application rules are matched.

    I'm going to do some more research today. As you suggested, can you create a new thread.

    Cheers,

    Ben
