Hello,
How can I block IP range or entire country on CentOS 7 with FirewallD? The IP range starts with 180.76.15.* and is Chinese IP.
The command below works for single IP but not for range:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule="rule family='ipv4' source address='180.76.15.154' reject"
I tried with this command for the range but without success:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule=“rule family=‘ipv4’ source address=‘180.76.15/24’ reject”
Cheers

I think the correct command is:
Pay attention to highlighted part
Yeah, I have an idea, why not utilize “UFW” or iptables (conntrack allows the user to log access).
dnf install ufw -y systemctl enable --now ufw systemctl start --now ufw
ufw enable
iptables

You have to reload firewalld after adding a permanent rule.
The command is not working, I run the command and reload my firewall for the changes to take effect, but unfortunately the 180.76.15* still have access to my site. Any other ideas?
Thank you xMudrii,
This command is executed successfully. Lets see if it works and the Chinese visitors from 180.76.15* will not have access to the site anymore.
