Maybe it got removed because it was invalid or conflicting...
I tried again... this time it worked for the broadcast packets...
But unicast both ways blocked not...
So I would have to add a special rule to block unicast in both ways...
This kinda sux because it requires two rules... which is double as much work
but ok.
Also trying to ban 255.255.255.255 for a specific source is not possible...
So I had to choose "any ip" which is a bit strange but ok
End result:
Broadcast packets banned for ip X
Unicast packets banned for ip X both ways.
However I also noticed something weird:
The broadcast packets were still showing up in the wireshark sniffer...
Apperently broadcast packets follow a different route through the windows
filter/firewall/policy logic ?!?!?
^ Weird... might be exploitable too

^ For example "broadcast attacks on
VPLAN's" might still work.
