I will say that the terms LAN, WAN Network etc need a little clarification for noobs using pfSense. I suppose I just answered my own question because the next thing I did was allow that IP address to access the local network 192.168.1.0 /24 (in CIDR format) (b)So why does blocking that IP address from accessing the LAN (I suppose that any IP address behind the NAT is on the LAN and any IP in this network behind the LAN can reach out to the Internet unless it is blocked) prevent that IP from accessing the Internet. (a) If I have an IP address on my internal LAN then why wouldn't blocking it to access the WAN (which is outside my router and I would think would be considered the Internet) block that IP address from accessing the Internet What is really confusing is the terminology. Source Single Host or Alias -> 192.168.1.7.Reinstalling the software (didnt help) 2. As soon as I enable the firewall again, the browser stalls. When I disable the firewall, my computer immediately connects to the internet. For ease of management, create an Address Group that contains the above address objects. Your geo-blocking list should should look like this: Geographic objects for countries. Repeat step 2 for each country you want to block. (b) Next I created a block rule below this one in the hierachy of I cannot access the internet with any browser unless I disable the firewall. Fill out the fields for the desired country object. (a)I first set up a rule that would allow (in this case 192.168.1.7) to connect to anywhere in my 192.168.1.0 /24 lan. I tried a myriad of approaches none of which worked.
