[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

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried the Windows Firewall method, and it seems to be working better than the router. Still seeing some weird traffic though—might give Pi-hole a shot next.

Quick question: if I block an ip address in Windows Firewall, does that override the router’s rules? Or do they work together?

Also, Cloudflare looks interesting—gonna check that out too. Appreciate the help!
