Hi Gang, I just implemented somewhat of a porn filter for a customer, by adding almost 50,000 IP address to an IPCHAINS block filter. Now the obvious problem is that the machine takes almost 50ms to process every packet, as it has to sift through all the junk I just fed it. Question: if I add more restrictions, such as a source as well as a destination IP address, will it make it worse for those who don't match the source IP? I only really need to block access for some machines, and I need fast access (blocked or not, doesn't matter) with another machine. Also, where is this list stored, once added into the IPCHAINS? Is it in RAM? I have 64MB ram - will adding ram help any?
