block ads (doubleclick and aol) servers using iptables


Hi, I need to completely block ads servers and ads.aol.com servers. Previously I use ipchains on RH7.1 and it runs great with following scripts. But after switching to iptables, I have not been able to block anoying ads coming to my browsers.

# blocking doubleclick.net
ipchains -A output -d 199.95.207.0/24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 199.95.208.0/24 -j REJECT

ipchains -A output -d 208.211.255.0/24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 209.67.38.0/24 -j REJECT

ipchains -A input -s 208.32.211.0/24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 205.138.3.0/24 -j REJECT
## blocking ads.web.aol.com
ipchains -A output -d 205.188.140.249 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 205.188.140.185 -j REJECT

ipchains -A output -d 64.12.184.57 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 64.12.184.89 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 64.12.184.121 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 205.188.140.249 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 205.188.140.185 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 152.163.180.24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 152.163.180.56 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 64.12.184.25 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 64.12.184.57 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 64.12.184.89 -j REJECT
ipchains -A input -s 64.12.184.121 -j REJECT

What is the correct way to convert above ipchains script into iptables scripts? My iptables firewall is as follows:

http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/s...rewall_023.txt

I tried with following, but it did not work:

$IPTABLES -N dclick
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 199.95.207.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 199.95.207.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 199.95.208.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 199.95.208.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 208.184.29.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 208.184.29.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 208.211.255.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 208.211.255.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 209.67.38.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 209.67.38.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 204.253.104.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 204.253.104.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 206.65.183.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 206.65.183.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 206.67.38.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 206.67.38.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 208.32.211.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p udp -d 208.32.211.0/24 -j REJECT
$IPTABLES -A dclick -p tcp -d 205.138.3.0/24 -j REJECT

Thanks in advance.

I don't see any rule that jumps to your new "dclick" rule. It may work, if you add a rule to the sample code you provided the link to that will transfer anything in the FORWARD chain to "dclick" after applying the rules listed in the sample code, and finish off the list of "dclick" rules with an unconditional "j ACCEPT" so that anything that makes it all the way through is accepted.

The reason your ipchains rules don't work with iptables is that there's one major change: forwarded packets no longer go through the INPUT and OUTPUT rule chains. Instead, they only go through the FORWARD chain. INPUT and OUTPUT now process only packets addressed to or from the firewall machine itself.

Hope this helps. The sample code looks seriously overcomplicated to me, but I don't see anything that would keep it from working...

Great, thanks a lot for the tip, it solved my problem. I tried it with INPUT and OUTPUT chain, both didn't work. And I didn't realize the block needs to be specified at FORWARD chain. After I added the following line to the script, it seems working great.

$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o $EXTIF -j dclick
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o $EXTIF -j AOLADS
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o $EXTIF -j AOLAIM

Thanks again.

It appears AOL got more ads servers now, dig ads.web.aol.com shows more than 10 servers:

;; ANSWER SECTION:

ads.web.aol.com. 600 IN A 152.163.226.185
ads.web.aol.com. 600 IN A 205.188.165.25


what's the simpliest way to stop junk ads coming to my browswer? It seems iptables does not like hostnames in the script, but needs ip address. It gives error I include below into my firewall script.

$IPTABLES -A AOLADS -p tcp -d ads.web.aol.com -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A AOLADS -p udp -d ads.web.aol.com -j DROP

Must I do long script like bellow? Are there any simple ways to block ads?

$IPTABLES -N AOLADS
$IPTABLES -A AOLADS -p tcp -d 205.188.140.249 -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A AOLADS -p udp -d 205.188.140.249 -j DROP

/* This (type of) question should be in networking, not security. */

You could run a filtering proxy like Squid, junkbuster, webwasher or anything else found on freshmeat.net, or expand your firewall shellscript with something like this:

dig ads.web.aol.com | $FORMAT | while read aolblock1; do
(insert rule here) -s $aolblock1 (insert rule jump here)
done

$FORMAT should be grepping for "ads", grepping out carets and blanks. something like "grep "ads" | grep -v \< | grep -v [[:blank:]]"
