Posted on by 
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP


#!/bin/bash

# Check if an IP address is provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <IP_ADDRESS>"
    exit 1
fi

IP_ADDRESS=$1

echo "Blocking IP: $IP_ADDRESS"

# Add iptables rule to block the IP
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s $IP_ADDRESS -j DROP

echo "IP $IP_ADDRESS has been blocked."
