Hello, I've configured a firewall rule to block a specific IP address, but it seems to be completely ignored.
I've tried rebooting the router and moving the rule to the top of the list, but these steps haven't resolved the issue.
Is the rule set to block All protocols or just TCP/UDP, as ping would be ICMP and not blocked if it's set to TCP/UDP (which is the default)
I created a rule to test this, and initially it didn't work, but I think it's because I was pinging beforehand, so there would have been connection tracking entries in place. I moved the rule to the top and then forced a firewall restart
I ran the following in the shell to restart the firewall, but rebooting would have the same effect.
/etc/init.d/firewall restart

Double check that device must be static IP address and no randomize mac address.
Could be redmi got different IP address and new mac address.
