Blocking inbound connections

I have installed Firewalla today to replace my untangle that I was running before. Aside from the lack of L2TP vpn server (which I knew about before purchasing), I'm pretty pleased with how smoothly it has gone in.

One thing I am struggling with is restricting inbound traffic and between my networks.

I have a port open through NAT, but I would like to restrict access to a few source IPs, and can't find out how to do this (I have another that I would like to deny to IPs originating in China).

  I can now see how to add allow rules - but what about deny ones? (Eg block china)

  You can just add a block "region" rule to all of your devices. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035080933-Firewalla-Regional-Filtering-Geo-IP-TLD-Blocking

  This sounded like an outbound rule? The directionality and application of firewalla rules hurt my head, they are all over the place!

  Unless specified, all rules are in both directions.
