Feature Request: Implement GeoBlocking/Countryblocking

Open yontekh opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

Some enterprise firewalls like Sophos XG/UTM have a feature to block/Allow entire blocks of IP addresses easily by country of origin. Would be cool if this was implemented into SimpleWall.

I realize I could do this myself by adding custom rules for every country and figureing out which block of IPs belong to which country, but that would be a massive amount of work and would look better in a nice UI.

Thanks for considering it.

This feature is already available in SimpleWall.

By default, both SimpleWall and Windows Firewall block anything and everything, regardless of its origin. To allow traffic from a certain country, use the "Create rule..." button.
