Firewall: Bulk Pasting List of IP or IP Networks & Geolocation Blocking

In relation to a previous post

Firmware 8.1.0 Beta 3

Hello Peplink Team, There are several requests and discussion in the forum for Geo-Blocking going back several years. Is there any possibility that this may become available with FW 8.1.0 upon its upcoming release? It may be useful to let the community know if it can get done or why it can not get done. Happy to Help, Marcus

And the replies of both @sitloongs and @Jonathan_Pitts

Firmware 8.1.0 Beta 3

@mldowling The Geo-blocking or the correct name Region firewall/outbound policy is available since firmware device firmware version 8.0.1 & IC2 firmware version 2.8.2. [image] Example Outbound Policy [image] Example Firewall Policy [image]

Firmware 8.1.0 Beta 3

You can already do this. In ic2, group level, network settings, select firewall rules. Check-mark “Manage Firewall Rules on Balance and MAX devices” Click create new rules set. Under source/destination not only can you select Region but also SaaS. No CSV import yet, but at least you can import from an already working config file. [image]

I’m bringing the conversation back into this thread.

We have created within InControl2 regional blocking rules with logging turned on.

InControl2 Ver 2.8.4 Firewall Rules

Though what should we be seeing within the Web Admin of devices? There appears to be nothing around the regional/geo-blocking.

Peplink FusionHub, Firmware 8.1.0b04 build 4916 - Remote Web Admin

Peplink Balance Two, Firmware 8.1.0b04 build 4919 - Remote Web Admin

And as we have logging turned on, where are the event logs within InControl2?

Peplink FusionHub, InControl2 Ver 2.8.4 Event Logs

Peplink Balance Two, InControl2 Ver 2.8.4 Event Logs

Also for those who do not or can not use InControl2, what options are there for doing this?

Firmware 8.1.0 Beta 3

Yes, TU. And, that is a significant limitation.

Happy to Help,
Marcus
