Do you know the correct syntax to block all incoming traffic from a specific, external IP in the eztables configuration?

I cannot find any examples in the official docs:

Thanks for your feedback!

Try searching for iptables it may give you a clue.

You could try running this iptables command

iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.100 -j DROP

This says to insert a rule at the top of the INPUT chain
to DROP packets from the source address 192.168.0.100

change the address to the one you want to block
(or a range of addresses)

Run the command after eztables has finished it's setup.

Alternative to @williams2, add the following to eztables.cfg

deny_in 192.168.0.100 any any any

You need to restart eztables when you make changes to the configuration.
