nice to know that the connection is holding up, but there's got to be
a better way to do this. I'm not really up on iptables, but surely
there is some better way to distinguish the traffic to allow or not?
Maybe even just some judicious grepping of the rule set for partial
matches that could be lumped together?
It seems that your operating on a default allow scenario with a bunch
of rules to delineate the deny situations. maybe you could go the
other way? default deny with a limited number of rules of what to
allow?
I am already working with default deny. The ip ranges in the list
provided by peerguarding need to be blocked -- so any traffic (not only
NEW) from or to those ipranges is to be blocked. So either I block them
all, or I allow all the rest. In either case, I see a huge bunch of
rules being put in iptables (and I don't have an ip range list for the
latter choice). Or am I missing something?
