Windows deny file

[xbbdc]

You can use powershell to import and create a rule to block the IPs.

Do you know if this is possible on home/pro as well or only in the server versions?

[xbbdc]

I tested this on both Home and Pro using the powershell version and it works. Using the old netsh doesn't work since it doesn't support variables. There is a caveat though and that is the text file lines have to be in CIDR format, 192.168.0.0/22 etc and only works as admin.

$IP = get-content c:\temp\ip.txt
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "_Block Rule" -Direction Inbound –LocalPort Any -Protocol TCP -Action Block -RemoteAddress $IP

Cool, have you tested it with IPv6 too?

This would require yet another output format....

I can test that tonight. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Would be great 👍

Hey there sorry for the delay. It would be the same command and you can use the same text file, it just has to be in one of these formats:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/netsecurity/new-netfirewallrule?view=win10-ps#parameters
Single IPv4 Address: 1.2.3.4
Single IPv6 Address: fe80::1
IPv4 Subnet (by network bit count): 1.2.3.4/24
IPv6 Subnet (by network bit count): fe80::1/48
IPv4 Subnet (by network mask): 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0
IPv4 Range: 1.2.3.4-1.2.3.7
IPv6 Range: fe80::1-fe80::9

If I put these in a text file and changing one example of the subnet by network mask:

1.2.3.4
fe80::1
1.2.3.4/24
fe80::1/48
2.3.4.5/255.255.255.0
1.2.3.4-1.2.3.7
fe80::1-fe80::9

I can run this command:

$IP = get-content c:\temp\ip.txt
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "_Block Rule-example" -Direction Inbound –LocalPort Any -Protocol TCP -Action Block -RemoteAddress $IP

I get the following output showing me they've all been added:

$FormatEnumerationLimit =-1
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "_Block Rule-example" | Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter

LocalAddress : Any
RemoteAddress : {1.2.3.4-1.2.3.7, 1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0, 2.3.4.0/255.255.255.0, 1.2.3.4, fe80::1, fe80::1-fe80::9, fe80::1/48}

Hey @xbbdc would you be up for writing a little wiki or blog(howto) on this at my site?

Thanks @stalebot but I want to keep this open for information!

Hey, i have made a PowerShell script that does exactly that. It can take the enormous list file from Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist IPs.
It adds multiple block rules in the windows firewall.

Do it also cleanup old records on each run?

Yes , there is an "Update" option. As long as you provide it with the correct firewall rule name.
