&lt;P&gt;The messages you listed show blocks by Core Protections - see &lt;A href="https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Security-Gateways/IPS-Core-Protections/m-p/217103" target="_blank"&gt;https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Security-Gateways/IPS-Core-Protections/m-p/217103&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;They can not be avoided - this is expected behaviour. If you need to send Invalid packets or Illegal messages you have to avoid going thru the firewall...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Dropped although the protection is disabled&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;invalid content length header in request&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Illegal H.225(Q.931) message&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to avoid to block any flow from a specific source?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
