Hi there, I got a funny situation when using iptables. Start with a clean sheet: # iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination I'm adding INPUT ACCEPT's for loopback, local interface, local machines and the machine I'm connection from: # iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT # iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A INPUT -s x.com -d y.com -j ACCEPT # iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- 192.168.1.0/24 anywhere ACCEPT all -- x.com y.com Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination And, I'm setting the INPUT policy to DROP: # iptables -P INPUT DROP Now if I try a # iptables --list the output comes one line at a time and with big delays. Am I missing something? Thank you, Paul
