      @sven72, You can enable logs in the first rule to be able to see the firewall logs.

      and you can now disable the same option for the second rule. If you wish

        @silence I think with your help I found that the TV tries constantly something it should not do - hence the block all DNS rule makes sense ...

              @sven72, Don't worry too much about the logs, it always shows up like this for me, allowed, blocked, allowed, blocked ajajjaa

                Exactly.. I would setup your rules not even to log that noise.. That amount of spam flooding your logs will make it difficult to notice stuff you would want to notice.

                  @johnpoz well I disabled the logging but indeed, this is not the best approach, is there a way to discard a specific entry in the log to avoid it swamping the interesting part john? Thanks

                    @sven72 yes just setup rule to block it but not log it.

                        I never said turn off all logging, rules you create by default do not log. Only stuff that falls through to the default deny would be logged by default.

                        So just create a rule that blocks that host from going to 8.8.8.8 and don't log it in the rule.

                        Example my work laptop generates lots of noise trying to get to stuff it can't get to when on home network.. I have no desire to see that, so there is a rule no logging for my work laptop trying to go to any private IPs that is not logged.

                        You can see the specific rules above and blow it are set to log
