iptables & system ressources
 

Hello,

I would like to stop spam popup using iptables to reject the spamers ip adress but the list is so long and i don't know if a lot of entries in iptables need a lot of processor and RAM memory usage.

Can anybody ansmer me ???

PS: sorry for my poor english ;)

A neat trick I saw somewhere here was instead of using iptables, to re-direct domains using the hosts file. So say you are being annoyed by pop-ups from adserver.com. In your /etc/hosts file you would enter

127.0.0.1 adserver.com

That would (hopefully) cause the browser to look locally for that domain and obviously not find it. However, it still doesn't get around the fact that you have to have an entry for each domain you want to stop.


Probably a better solution would be to change your browser's settings to not allow popups.
