Block reason: Gateway GEO-IP Filter Alert ( not enabled)

Hello everyone,

my NSA2700 started to block a webpage showing this reason, without having this security service enabled (?).

This site has been blocked by the network administrator.

Block reason: Gateway GEO-IP Filter Alert

IP address: "my public ip"

Connection initiated from country: "my country"

( Firmware: SonicOS Enhanced 6.5.0.0-33n)

Any idea about why is doing it? I don't have Selected Countries, and in Setting, don't have selected this option:

"Block connections to/from countries selected in the Countries tab

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @SWUSERVPN,

    Thank you for visiting SonicWall Community.

    Could you please check if you have applied the Geo-IP on any of the access rules or security policy? Somewhere the Geo-IP feature is enabled and hence the firewall throws the respective block page.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    @SWUSERVPN - That's odd. I would suggest you to monitor the issue for sometime and see if it reoccurs.
