Skynet Blocking inbound-only traffic to my router from all countries other than mine

[Kokos]

Hi all!

I've just set up a VPN server on my router and would like to restrict access to IP addresses from my country only. Can Skynet do this? I was able to ban particular countries, but this also affected outgoing connections. I know I can change the Skynet filter option from both to just inbound, but then I'll lose important protection against malware that can initiate traffic from inside my network. Is there any way to have both? Thanks.

Fixed.

I would like to know how, I was watching your thread to learn more.
Thanks

Unfortunately it was just a response to off-topic dave14305 started here, then he deleted his posts.. I’m still looking for a solution.

You don't need Skynet if you're just worried about blocking inbound. Your built-in firewall will deny everything by default. Skynet is helpful for outbound connections as it would prevent your devices from going to countries or malicious sites that are on the deny list. It's possible, but adding all countries except your own may drag down your system.

But my VPN server port is exposed now, how can I make it not accessible for other countries?

So far I implemented this "workaround" by editing /jffs/scripts/firewall-start script: https://pastebin.com/wWwJM2Ss
