    Hmm, this is indeed possible,
    Newsbox, how did you configure your firewall?
    It's better to disable incoming requests from that ip, but leave
    outgoing open. Established connections should stay open.

    This means you can start a connection, do a request to that site, but he
    can only reply to stuff you asked for. And thus not annoying you more
    than you need.

    Hope this is indeed the problem
