Wildcards (*) won't work with iptables. Also, using domain names in iptables rules is terribly ineffective. A DNS lookup is done when the rule is executed, and the resulting IP(s) are used in the rule. That means that you'll potentially be lacking tons of IPs, and the ones you do have might become useless anytime. If you describe the attack you are experiencing, perhaps we might offer some better suggestions as to countermeasures you can use.

Thank`s for replaying guyz

We can't make any suggestions if we don't know what you need suggestions about. You need to describe (be as verbose as possible) the type of attack before we can suggest any sort of countermeasure. So far, nothing you've posted even hints at what type of attack this is.

u'll have to use ips and if u'd like to block all DOMAIN names u can these just replace where needed.

iptables -A OUTPUT -p all --destination 127.0.0.1 -j DROP


find out the ip of a domain name and then find out it's whole ip range(s). I don't know if this rule will work exactly for u, but it works for me in custom-rules using arno-iptables-firewall for blocking access to whole ip ranges which \begin edit\ equales domain names /edit end/, and also does NOT gripe about it. :)

yes just change 127.0.0.1 to whatever ip and add a slash and then the netmask range and restart the firewall.

Example to block the WHOLE 224.0.0.0 range - IGMP/BROADCAST range, the following rule should suffice..

iptables -A OUTPUT -p all --destination 224.0.0.0/3 -j DROP

nowshining, lets wait for an explanation about what the OP is trying to achieve before making these types of suggestions. Also, as has been said, iptables is simply not the right tool for filtering WWW access to specific domains. Ideally you'd want to use a proxy server. Having said that, the OP mentioned that his network was under attack, which makes it sound like this might not even be a WWW access issue at all. We need clarification in order to understand what is going on here - we can't just assume things. He hasn't logged-on ever since posting his last message, give him some time.

it was just some info that i wanted to share because it seemed relevant to what i was trying to do yesterday in my time zone. :).

edit: -->

adding: they could also change OUTPUT to INPUT for incoming connections...

If you want to block domain names, it would makes sense to do it when they are looked up.

dd-wrt is a Linux-based router (firmware). Using its DNSMasq feature, you can easily block domains(subdomains) for all the computers on your network.

Block Website via Iptables
 

my system is working as a router(RHEL5). i want block some website using iptables

Why don't you want to use the right tool for the job instead?

Are you being forced to use iptables for this?

If you want to block outgoing traffic from your PC to xxx.com , you need to do this:
I hope, the idea is clear and the key options are:
But I'm not sure this is the right way to block many FQDNs. Though if you want to block a few ones, why not.
