Make sure you are blocking DST in this rule, not SRC, if you want to
block EXTERNAL_NET.

In your old rule:

You had SRC listed, which is correct for HOME_NET (since it is a client
in this rule, and I assume you wanted to block your rogue client PC on
the inside ;)  


Remember that SRC blocks the host LEFT of -> and DST blocks the host to
the RIGHT of ->
