Have you tested this with traffic from another country? In my case the
DROP rule is applied incorrectly, e.g. all the time. The same would
probably be true for an ALLOW rule.

I suppose that there shall be no difference between the ways of your approach. It should doesn't matter if you allow one you need with rules entry and then DROP the others in policy or do it in the opposite way. To be honest I have tested my shorewall's rules on the basis of blocking SSH traffic from China. Namely when I opened port tcp/22 to the world for some days I have had plenty /var/log/secure entries of login attempts just from IPs located in China country. My fail2ban daemon banned many such IP s. To be sure I have checked these IP s with whois program. I ask you is it just a coincidence that most of all brute logins attempt come from China? After that I blocked China for all the traffic also, I have simply added CN to the blrules, including output NATed traffic too. Since this time I have no issues with unauthorized logins.

Best regards,
Witek
