Used to use various small form factor business desktops computers at home to install them on…and run my home network on. Years ago I used to have a hobby…trying a different *nix powered firewall at about 1x a month. ( can’t recall back when that was…2005 maybe?) Been a partner with them ever since, have sold/installed a lot of 'em. Open the Firewall module and check your rules starting and ending subnets (Ctrl + End) to ensure they are all there.Untangle has been our “go-to” firewall for businesses since…geeeze…back with version 5. Make sure the rules are in the right order after the import it seems to move them around ! If the import is successful you will see the rules repeated – click “ok” to save the changes

Now use the Firewall Import facility to Import your updated file and replace the current settings. Save the modified file making sure you keep the file extension. We need to now copy the contents of the comma separated UT-CIDR-BlockCountry.txt into the “value” field You will find the text entered in the “description” field text for the rule to the right of it is the “value” field which should contain the values you entered above. Search the text for the Rule Descriptor text you created above E.G “Deny BlockCountry” Open your Blockcountry Rule with NotePad or a basic text editor Make a copy the Untangle rule and call and append “BlockCountry” to the file name.

Open The Firewall Module and Select Export and save the Untangle Rule. Source Address: Paste a few entries from your UT-CIDR-BlockCountry.txt Login to Untangle and select the Firewall module and add a new ruleĭescription: Block Incoming ‘Deny BlockCountry’ Warning - If you muck up the format of the file during editing your firewall may not work when re-imported!įirst off create a Rule for your country block As there is a limit of 32Kb pasting into the field we have to export the Firewall rules and add the subnet range and then import the Firewall rule.
