blocking ip not working?

[xGara 0]

Hello,

I went to the tutorial on the eset website to block ips. But i still can ping some of them.

So I did Eset > Configuration > Network > Configure Rules and Zones > New 

 

 

Name: Block CS GO MM Server

Direction : both

Action : Refuse

Protocol : TCP & UDP

 

Distant Adress, I put this.

85.25.183.0-185.25.183.255

146.66.156.0-146.66.156.255,

146.66.157.0-146.66.157.255,

185.25.180.0-185.25.180.255,

185.25.181.0-185.25.181.255,

146.66.155.0-146.66.155.255,

185.25.182.0-185.25.182.255

208.78.164.0-208.78.164.255,

208.78.165.0-208.78.165.255,

208.78.166.0-208.78.166.255

192.69.96.0-192.69.96.255,

192.69.97.0-192.69.97.255

103.28.54.0-103.28.54.255,

103.28.55.0-103.28.55.255,

103.10.124.0-103.10.124.255

152.111.192.0-152.111.192.255,

197.80.200.0-197.80.200.255,

196.38.180.0-196.38.180.255

103.10.125.0-103.10.125.255

209.197.29.0-209.197.29.255,

209.197.25.0-209.197.25.255,

205.185.194.0-205.185.194.255

180.149.41.0-180.149.41.255

 

Then OK, Apply and OK

 

But i can still ping these servers and connect to them.. Why?!

 

cmd > ping 185.25.183.11

How is that possible?

I've tested it and it worked. The best would be to contact customer care and provide them with your ESS configuation so that they can test it with your settings as I assume the issue occurs due to misconfiguration.

Ping uses the ICMP protocol for the connection check. But you have selected to block the protocols "TCP & UDP", so you have to select ICMP to block a "normal" IPv4 address or IPv6-ICMP to block an IPv6 IP address.

Rugk is right, I overlooked it as I assumed it was clear that a rule must be created for ICMP protocol
