I’m not too familiar with networking and firewalls, and I’m attempting to block an IP using UFW, but I’m not sure if it’s working or or not. I followed the Archwiki article and set it up using:
ufw deny from 185.40.64.69 to any.
When I run ufw status, it seems to be blocking it.
To Action From
-- ------ ----
Anywhere DENY 185.40.64.69
185.40.64.69 DENY OUT Anywhere
However, if I ping the IP it seems, if I’ve interpreted it correctly, to still be open as packets are transmitted.
--- 185.40.64.69 ping statistics ---
23 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 22546ms
Is this correct, and if so, what have I done wrong?
