[b]"How Do I Effectively Block an IP Address on My Network?"[/b] or [b]"What's the Best Way to Block an IP Address

Hey! If your router's block ip address feature isn't working, try rebooting it after adding the rule. Sometimes settings don’t apply until a restart.

Also, check if your router firmware is up to date—old versions can be buggy. For a stronger fix, use a firewall like Windows Firewall (if you're on Windows) or something like pfSense for more control.

Blocking an IP should stop all traffic, but some sneaky ones might use proxies.
