Hi there,
I am trying to block two IPs from access my network/the internet at a certain time a day.

I have created an Alias that includes the two IPs 192.168.2.7-192.168.2.8
I also created a schedule for Mon-Sun 21:00 - 23.59 and 0:00-08:00

I then went into Firewall rules in my Lan section and created a block rule for inbound traffic from source (the Alias) and I selected the schedule.
I applied all the changes but the two devices still have network access during the period of time.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Did you place the block rule above the default allow rule?

Cheers

No, is that the problem? Let me try.
Thanks,
Merry Christmas

Rule order is important because they are evaluated sequentially from top to bottom. If you have a quick "allow all" rule above the block rule, the block rule will never be evaluated.

Cheers & happy holidays

you are a rockstar. I put that rule at the top and it works. Thanks again
