GEO-IP Block only working after a restart
Hi everybody
I have a VPN100 with latest Firmware.
I use the GEO-IP blocking mechanism a lot and it's working great.
Recently I added an additional country to my GEO-IP Blocking Group.
Then I waited for about 30 minutes, but this country was still not blocked.
After a restart of the firewall, this country was blocked immediately.
Is this a bug?
Does the firewall not recognize the change in the GEO-IP GROUP ?

The #2, #3 and #4 groups are groups with specific countries in it.
The 1st group is the main group and contains the groups #2, #3 and #4 and it's used in all rules.
Anyway, a restart helped, but for the future it might be useful that this rule could be applied without restarting the whole device.

Hi @Veronesi
Had you ever connected to sites belong to the blocked country "BEFORE" applying the new group? If it is the case, please note that the new rules won't affect the "already existing sessions". It will block the new created sessions.Click this link to start:

Hi @Zyxel_Vic
No I haven't. These connections were always blocked by the default rule. But I wanted to block them actively that's the reason why I added them to my block list.
