You have just added Block IP/CIDR to the FirewallD module here:
#2168
the request
These quick actions are very useful (including search for IP) and would improve the firewallD module even more. Ypu obviously have just added Quick Block.
Additional
The quick unblock is used when a client has been locked out of thw server becasue he has done too many failed authentications. This can happen when you change a password for a user and they are on IMAP on their phone which keeps trying.
search for IP is useful to see why the IP was blocked.
Hello,
I just added a Quick Block feature to the UI just a few weeks ago. You can try it in the latest nightly build.
Quick unblock and search are not needed technically as already available in the page that lists blocked IP addresses.
Just to confirm you mean this page
Quick unblock and search are not needed technically as already available in the page that lists blocked IP addresses.
My suggestion was more for easy of use. I thought the features next to each other would be more useful.
I will wait for the new version and then have a play. 😄
