Hi,

 

It seems someone / thing is trying to continiously ping my public IP address.

Now i want to block it, found this thread and tried the method as Clive described. "detected WAN Ping attack from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" - Business Community 

Point is, i still get the same logs. 

 

ACL configured as Gateway ACL:

Direction > Wan IN

Policy > Deny

Protocols > All

 

Source > An IPgroup with 71.18.0.0 / 16 as subnet AND 117.144.213.0 / 24 as subnet

Destination > IPGroup_Any, An IPgroup which points to the WAN ip/32, and an IPgroup pointing towards the router via local IP. 

 

Anything i possibly have been forget?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

Hi @Naldjer 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

I am not sure if I am reading the correct setup.

Do you have a screenshot of how you configured it?

 

If this really bothers you, you can disable this notification in the log settings.
