Blocking External Sites - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

Blocking External Sites

A blocked site is an external IP address that is always blocked from
connecting to computers behind the Edge. When hackers try to con-
nect to your network, the Firebox® X Edge records data about the
hacker. You can examine the data to identify attacks and stop fur-
ther attacks from that address range. Use the IP address of the
attacker or a range of hostile IP addresses to create a Blocked Site.
To add a location to the Blocked Sites list:
1 From the navigation bar, click Firewall > Blocked Sites.
The Blocked Sites page appears.
2
From the drop-down list, click Host IP Address, Network IP
Address, or Host Range.
3
In the text box, type a host IP address, a network IP address, or
a range of host IP addresses.
4
Click Add.
The IP address information appears in the Blocked Sites list.
Repeat steps 2—4 to add many IP addresses at one time.
5 lick Submit.
