It is strange then, that I have to select both incoming/outgoing and remote/local?

ok, I took antoher look at your picture. Here's what I think it's talking about.
Inbound/outbound is talking about the direction the packet is going... either into your computer or out of it.
Remote/Local is talking about port addresses. Remote ports is ports on another computer, local ports are ports on your computer. For instance, I believe when you're getting an IP address though DHCP, the packet leaves from TCP port 68. However, it goes to tcp port 67 on the DHCP server. This lets you block a larger range of stuff.
Kinda seems stupid, to be honest, but hey, whatever. Can you block specific ip address/ip ranges?

Yes I can do all that.
But I've not had problems with Blaster since so I guess it works. 8)
