8800NL IP Outgoing filtering doesn't drop packets

Post by wdm1955 »

I have set up a simple rule to block HTTPS packets to a small range of IP addresses to port 443. The security log has entries sayng that the filter has been matched, but the packets are not dropped. Can anyone help?

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. My rule is set almost as you suggest (though it is the destination port, not the source port, which must be 443). The log records the filter being triggered, but the packets aren't dropped.

I just tested the feature here and works fine.

I setup a PC with tightVNC ports 5800~5900 on a different line

I tested the connection, all working I can connect to the remote machine on port 5800, then I setup a rule just like yours (destination port 5800, action drop) and I can't connect to the remote PC via tight VNC anymore

Then I removed my outgoing filtering rule and it worked again.
