Hello,

when using AppVMs for special purposes, I like to use deny all firewall rules 
and only open the neccessary ports.
Unfortunately this means a step-by-step approach to find out which domains and 
ports needs to open.

Question:
Where can I find a log file which shows what the firewall is blocking from 
inside (AppVM) to outside (WAN).
I know that I've missed some ports to get things up and running, but I don't 
know where to look for them.
Hello,

You create a log file by inserting a new rule in the iptables chain,
using the LOG target.

Let's say you want to check what's happening on sys-firewall to
traffic from 10.137.1.101
iptables -L -nv will show the current rules.
Count where the current DROP rule appears in the FORWARD chain - say,
it's at position 4.
Then insert a LOG rule before that DROP rule:
iptables -I FORWARD 4 -s 10.137.1.101 -j LOG


Now all the DROPPED traffic will be logged, and you can use dmesg to
inspect those logs.

perfect, thanks!!
I assume that this rule is non-persistent and will not survive a reboot of sys-net, correct? This would be great as I only need this rule to fine tune my firewall settings.
