Hi,
I wrote a somewhat ipchains-based firewall script which allows me to
restrict/allow various sites by adding an ip address to a text file. It
uses plain text file lists to create port forwarding chains,
allow/disallow TCP/UDP inbound and outbound, and do accounting. If
anyone is interested in my humble setup (I wrote it for a home
15-machine lan with cable access) let me know..
