i decided to check out firewalls. i merged firewalld + gui use flag for it. problem is block all traffic, block zone etc let me ssh localhost. i checked out some others too, i know firestarter rather well, but its not in the packages. i have iptables and have been looking into ufw & its gui.

i need some sort of blocking, forwarding, managing, etc. whens firestarter going main tree?

Haha, you have to look at the iptables script it produces, and remember that the rules are processed in order. I would recommend to just learn the iptables script.

As a reasonable compromise, I use a BASH script to create the iptables rules - example to flush rules.

id really like something openwrt xwrtish to generate the iptables for me. i guess ill start writing up scripts of iptables commands because its starting to look like thats the easiest solution for the time being. and i know iptables works....

Code:

mkultra@mksrv ~ $ sudo ./tables
mkultra@mksrv ~ $ ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused


(your arch post is the contents of tables)
