Geo-IP Filtering for All Countries?

I have a simple NAS I want to allow externally for only certain IPs and one Port. How do I either a) only allow inbound for a target list (with port), or b) at least block all countries except for one? I know blocking all countries will create other issues but I’d set it for the NAS device only. And yes I know should just use VPN but there are other challenges related to the NAS where a VPN client is not available (think TVs and streaming video).

  1. The best is still VPN ... and if you get another firewalla device, it can help devices that can't install VPN client to VPN ... 

  2. Second best is to use this feature https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500009502622-How-to-limit-access-to-open-port-or-port-forwarded-

  Tried Option 2 but I'm still able to access the port from other countries. However, if I manually block the country it does block it. I'd hate to have to block every country by hand but I'll do it if needed.

  As a side question, which is respected first with these, the Allow or Block rules?
