LOL I know what you mean.. I have my Router blocking 7 countries currently, and now my BBS is blocking another 3. I wanted to keep South Korea open at least for my Commodore and Amiga boards, because I have a user from South Korea who I have been friends with since the 90's when he lived in San Diego! I think though blocking everything then letting things is is the way to go.. Once my kid comes over on Sunday, I will hit him up for the ins and outs on pfSense, as he just did a couple of articles on it and I believe he is in the process of doing a video for his YouTube channel on pfSense.. Once I get the scoop from him I will make it happen..

.... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
