      Hi guys,
      I'm trying to block an internal IP address (just to name it : 192.168.0.121 but we don't realy care)
      To do that I create a block rule but to no effect as the IP is still able to consume most of my bandwith
      here is the rule that I have created, please tell me what's I'm doing wrong :
      action = block
      interface = LAN
      Protocol = TCP (I also tried all, to no effect)
      Source = nothing set
      Destination
        Type = single host or alias
        Address = 192.168.0.121

      Thank you !

        And where did you put the rule?  Below the allow any any..

        Rules are top down..  First rule that matches wins.

        If you don;t want 192.168.0.121 to use the internet.  That would be the source not the destination, destination would be any.

          Yep you're right, I put it at the last position.
          I moved it up and change destination for source
          thank you !
