Cannot block IP whatsoever. Nightmare.

[ChazZeromus]

I've been plagued on my gameservers by someone who constantly use cheats, and have been trying to ban his IP via router and windows firewall. No matter I do windows constantly accepts and replies to the IP. It feels like a nightmare and I have no idea why windows isn't doing jack crap when blocking.

I setup outbount and inbound rules not to send/receive to this IP but yet the router and windows processes packets from that address.

It's probably spoofed but does anyone have any idea why this isn't working? I should also mention the game's primary protocol uses UDP.

What router do you have? Can you give us a print screen of the ACL's showing how you have tried to stop the IP.

The IP wants stopping at the router.


Thanks

I'm using a Westell 9100EM.

Hello,

That looks correct. I'm not too familier with these firewalls. Can you define the protocols? Is there an option for ANY?


Dave

FYI - Manual is here:

[ChazZeromus]

The advance filtering effects all types of protocols, but I don't see the need in specifying.

 

[Dave Atkin]

In the manual which I linked you to it specify's in there.. Its worth doing as a test.

Well can't test if the person isn't in the server lol. But I know for a fact it works other addresses.

 

[Dave Atkin]

Lol, do it with another address then? Get your friend to connect to the Server and change the IP to block his.

Without knowing the Firewall inside and out, its trial and error
