I'm not totally bunched up about people trying to access my FTP, and the auto block seems to work for that. I do hate spam accounts set up on a website I run from the Synology though.
I thought about using the firewall function to block IP ranges, but am having slight trouble figuring it out. For instance, in the past I had blocked the netrange:
193.0.0.0/8 193.0.0.0-193.255.255.255
Easy enough... but how do I block this range in the Synology firewall?
I have the choice to block All, a single host, or a subnet. Is the IP range above a single subnet and if so, how do I configure this in the firewall? I need to put in IP and subnet mask. The help file doesn't elaborate and I never paid attention to understanding subnets enough....
I assume the netmask would be put in as 255.0.0.0 since the class A 193.x.x.x address and 8 CIDR corresponds to that? Can I then put the IP range in to the IP address field of the Synology firewall, do I have that right? But then that would block the entire 255.0.0.0 subnet?
