Foreign ip address removal & blocking

I have a list of foreign IP addresses on the command prompt .These seem to have Trojan viruses in them. Is there a program to delete & block these IP addresses & any thing else that might be with them ? Thanks Don

 

firewall rule to block addresses NOT on an IP list?


I am just starting to learn the Windows Firewall (working on both Windows 7 and 10) and I'm not impressed with the inflexibility of its rules. I would like to know if


1. Is there is a way to do what I want with Windows Firewall?
2. Is there is a third-party firewall that would do it?


What I want to do is create a rule that blocks outgoing connections, for program X, that are to a destination **NOT** in an IP list.


Windows Firewall is not very flexible in how you specify IP list rules. When you give an IP list, your rule will match that list... you can't say "trigger the rule for non-matching IP addresses." Therefore to allow outgoing connections to a list, you have to


1. Change the entire firewall policy to block outgoing connections by default so that you can create an "allow rule" matching your list. This will mess up the rest of your programs.


2. Somehow combine a block rule and allow rule. Create a block rule for most traffic, with the "allow" rule overriding it when appropriate. However, this doesn't appear to be possible in general. It **may** be possible for connections that use IPSec, I'm not sure. And I'm not sure if I can use IPSec in my application.

And is there a third-party firewall that can do it? Most 3rd-party firewalls are LESS sophisticated than Windows Firewall, because the use case they are addressing is providing an interface that doesn't require much comprehension. I need one that's actually MORE sophisticated than Windows Firewall.

 

IP Address is BAD

That particular blacklist is used more for Spam blocking that general Internet access, but could be the problem. I suggest you try to have "N-Insurance company" clarify what they mean by "your IP address is a bad one," specifically whether they are checking
a blacklist.

If it is a blacklist issue, it will be difficult to address. Note that it is difficult to impossible to get your ISP to change a dynamically assigned IP address (as is used by most home users). Your ISP would have to address the problem with the lister.
