Draytek routers

Anyone got experience of Draytek routers?
I am looking to block a specific range of external IP addresses that are gaining access through an open port which needs to stay in place. I can only see the option to block single IP's and only to a maximum of 16.
Does anyone know a way of blocking a range of external IP addresses?

Cheers

This article should cover what you want - you can block by range / subnet etc:

Had no reason to try it, but...

Create a LAN->WAN filter under the firewall settings? Set the source IP range.

Cheers. I have created a firewall block rule and looking at the syslog it is now blocking the attempt
