        @beckeribero Based on what is inside the packet? You could use Suricata or Snort and a custom rule but that is pretty advanced.

        A rule blocking from an IP to any remote IP with a specific port is however simple.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          The main problem is detecting that "specific packet". Do you mean specific payload content? If so, remember that nearly 100% of network traffic today is encrypted and only decrypted at the two endpoints of the conversation. Firewalls and intermediate devices can't see into the payload. They see only random encrypted bits.
