Running Kaspersky Premium 21.15.8.493 (a) on Windows 10 Professional x64 Build 19045 Version 22H2.

I created a packet rule over a month ago to block two domains that were attempting to establish insecure connections.  Please see the attached screenshot.

As I was still learning to create packet rules in Kaspersky, I was unsure if all fields were set correctly.

Also, a few weeks ago or so, the computer with the packet rules was being disconnected from the network.  It would no longer even show as online unless I deactivated the rule.

Did I create the rule incorrectly?

Either way, why would it suddenly disconnect me from the network after weeks of not doing so?  I made no changes in that time.

I'd like to learn and understand if I made a mistake in setting the rule and also why it would suddenly knock me off the network.

Any insight is appreciated!

IPs addresses...

Thanks so much for the reply.  I've read that link before and after posting and am sure I'm missing something obvious.

Is the problem the fact that I have "Local Address" checked and/or "Any Address" selected in the corresponding field?

That would seem to make sense that it would completely off the network if I (now) understand its usage.

However, if that's the case, why did this packet rule suddenly do so if it never did in the past?
