Sophos UTM country blocking - blocking geo allowed IP

Greetings,

My utm firewall is for some reason blocking a US based cloudfare IP for Discord. This started a couple days ago I think. 

I of course don't have the US blocked in country blocking, but the country blocking rule is blocking it.. Here is some data for this. I think this may be some sort of FP perhaps??

From the Shell:

geoiplookup 162.159.135.232
GeoIP Country Edition: US, United States

From the network logs:

2023:04:04-10:41:23 bouncerasg ulogd[13546]: id="2021" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="packetfilter" name="Packet dropped (GEOIP)" action="drop" fwrule="60019" initf="lag0" outitf="eth5" srcmac="" dstmac="" srcip="<mypc>" dstip="162.159.135.232" proto="17" length="1378" tos="0x00" prec="0x00" ttl="127" srcport="63248" dstport="443"

From the UI:

I know I can just exclude the IP, but why is the firewall doing this?!?!

Thanks,
Chris

  •   As a firewall expert you should know better than to post shortened urls. I understand t.co is twitter's shortened url tld, but to ensure security, all (or as many as I could identify) short urls are blocked here at firewall level.

    In addition,  wouldn't it be best to link to an announcement at *.sophos.com.....?
