*filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [12325:2319098] What does the line ":OUTPUT ACCEPT [12325:2319098]" mean? will it cause any trouble? What would happen if I put [0:0]? |

I hope what you listed isn't the entire contents of that file. If so, all incoming packets will be dropped, including loopback packets. Normally you would want to at least accept loopback. |
So wait, when you say packets or byte counts that can be restored, what are you saying exactly? That the chain made copies of packets as they went through and you can restore them into a packet and send them again?

Gotcha, thats were I was a little confused.
Altho, that would be awsome if it could replicate the packets... *starts scheming* :D nomb |
