Hi, some days ago I asked for some DOS attack prevetion using iptables. I ended up with adding the following two rules to my firewall-script:
----- # set some parallel connection limits by single ip address $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -m iplimit --iplimit-above 2 -j REJECT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m iplimit --iplimit-above 3 -j REJECT ----- The strange thing is, if I open 4 telnet connections from the same machine to mmy server like 192.168.1.1 80 all 4 connections are permitted and none is rejected. Why ??? There is no error in loading the modules etc, everything just executes fine. Any help would be really appreciated, Corin.
