IPTables examples?
 

Hello everyone.

I was curious if anyone could post a snippet of some IPTables examples?

Specifically, I wanted to see what the rules would like look for the following situation:

No outside access to my internal LAN. I have no web server, DNS server or email server. Just my LAN reaching the outside world to access email, DNS and web servers.

Also, the rules that would stop Ping, traceroute and NMAP requests.

I just want to get a feel of what the rules look like.

Thanks everyone.

I appreciate it.

You can avoid the complex iptable configuration. This tool will allow you to do the same with gerat ease.

Just wanted to get some quick feedback on this NAT/MASQ setup...just want to see if I have this correct.

# MASQUERADE the connection (-j MASQUERADE).
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
# Turn on IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

That about right? Using cable modem and receive my IP via DHCP.


THanks
