Enabling firewall to block overseas connection attempts

I've been looking everywhere, but cannot find an answer.

I'm looking to automatically blackhole overseas IP addresses which are constantly probing the 2 ports that I have open on my Nighthawk XR450.

 

Does the XR450 support this type of blocking?

    No there is no specific way to do this. However, these should not be causing you any issues as they should be getting blocked. In WAN Settings you could disable the option Respond to pings and you may see this go away.
