Thanks, very helpful. Just a question regarding the "Bad Guy" filter. Wouldn't it be cleaner to select a Connection State of "new" to identify IP's trying to connect to the router?

[@MikroTikMarc]

Absolutely - only tracking NEW packets would be a nice improvement, especially for a busy device. Hopefully there aren't too many packets hitting the INPUT chain though.

Great information on MikroTik firewalls!
