Do you mean to bock every address on the internet?  I'm not following
you hear.  Further I don't see an option to block ip addresses in the
blocking section at all.  Only by keywords.

Are we looking at the same router?
(here is it FVS318)
I see:

# Security Logs
# Block Sites
# Block Service
# Add Service
# Schedule
# E-mail

On left 

(others are below but not of interest here unless you tell me
you mean some other section)


I see no way to block by IP number in any of those sections.  One
could block by keyword and use `com' `net' `org' etc as the keywords I
suppose but it seems really hackish and prone to unexpected results.

No kind of control like is possible with Iptables.
