      It's not a great problem, but if it's possible to resolve it.

      I've LAN interface and DMZ interface

      On LAN interface, I've a rule that block ping from LAN to DMZ.

      I launch a ping (ping -t) from a PC in LAN, to a server in DMZ. The ping is not walking. That's good.

      I modify the rule: "block" become "pass". The ping start immediately. That's good.

      But now: I modify the rule: "pass" become "block". Then the ping continue… That's not good.

      I've found that if I stop the ping on the PC, wait for few seconds, and launch the ping, then it's really blocked.

      Is it possible to have an instantaneous block of the ping ?

      Thanks for all.

      Best regards.

          I go in Diagnostic > States.

          Then I see two lines for my ping:

          • LAN to DMZ (request)
          • DMZ to LAN (reply).

          The ping is working fine.

          A modify the rule: it pass from "pass" to "block".

          The ping continue.

          In Diagnostic > States, I delete one by one the two lines for the ping.

          The ping stop immediatly.

          It's working fine !

          Thanks for all.
