Better to do that on the network level and not overload your sensors 
(especially server sensors).  I only block IPs in policies for quick temp 
blocks until a network rule can be implemented or the threat has moved on 
(ISP DHCP, etc).

Subject: [ISSForum] Any way to block foreign IP addresses


I'm wondering if it is possible, through policies in SiteProtector, to block 
IP address ranges.  What I was thinking was to block access from all foreign 
IP addresses as they have no need to access my public connections.  I looked 
up the IP to Country table and it is not as easy as at first thought.  So I 
was thinking maybe someone all ready invented that wheel.

Any ideas?

Thanks
