firewall:iptables:ip-address:block:destination-address
Block outgoing traffic to a specific IP address.
$ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d ${ip_address} -j DROP
try on your machine
This command uses the "iptables" utility to add a new rule to the output chain ("-A OUTPUT") of the firewall. The rule is set to block ("-j DROP") all outbound traffic ("-d") to the specified IP address ("${ip_address}").
In simpler terms, this command is used to block all outgoing traffic to a specific IP address. The "sudo" keyword is used to execute the command with administrative privileges.
