Thanks!
My FW knowledge do need some more training.
Adding block on incoming as well seems to do the trick.
        <rule>
            <type>block</type>
            <interface>wan</interface>
            <protocol>tcp/udp</protocol>
            <source>
                <address>178.73.0.0/16</address>
            </source>
            <destination>
                <address>PRESCOT</address>
            </destination>
            <log/>
            <descr>Block 178.73.0.0/16</descr>
        </rule>
Thanks again
