The default hosts.rules contains the following (I highlighted the related portions of it):
Code:
# Default policy
#
# POLICY ACCEPT CONNECTIONS_PER_IP
# POLICY DENY
#
#POLICY ACCEPT 2
## PLEASE REMOVE LINE BELOW
POLICY DENY
# Classes
#
# CLASS CLASS_NAME TOTAL_CONNECTIONS_PER_CLASS
CLASS NORDIC 25
CLASS ADMIN -1
# Rules
#
# ACCEPT I|H IP|HOSTNAME CLASS_NAME CONNECTIONS_PER_IP
# DENY I|H IP|HOSTNAME LOG_STRING

ACCEPT I 192.168.1. ADMIN -1
ACCEPT I 127.0.0. ADMIN -1
ACCEPT H .fi NORDIC 2
ACCEPT H .se NORDIC 1
ACCEPT H .no NORDIC 1
DENY I 192.168. "Banned network address"
DENY I 10. "Banned network address"
DENY H .tw "Access from taiwan is prohibited"
The top portion labelled
Default policy is the rule taken if there are no host/IP specific rules for the connecting client.
You're supposed to remove (or comment) the
POLICY DENY rule and uncomment the one above it,
POLICY ACCEPT 2.
