Geo-IP & Botnet

These two security features provide extra safety by allowing you to choose specific countries to block, or to block attacks from Botnets. These are networks of compromised computers transmitting malware, spam, or other destructive files. Each of these features need separate licenses, available from MySonicWall.

  1. On the Policies > Security Policies page, click on the Add icon.
  2. On the Add Security policy page, specify the name.
  3. Select GeoIP_Botnet Security from the Type dropdown.

  4. Fill in your GEO-IP and Botnet choices, including any IPs you wish to exclude from the ban.

  5. Click Save to apply the selections you have made.
