Hi Pierlu, authenticating endpoints by their alias is always problematic. As you can see in the ARQ, the calling endpoint has two. GnuGk finds the prefix match, looks at the first alias, notices that it doesn't match the alias pattern and moves on to the next rule. If the endpoint had only 3194 as alias, the rule would block the call. If you want to block a prefix, I'd suggest you try to find a better matching criteria, eg. by caller IP.
