Well I have here a configured Iptables...but now I added 2 new lines
to this table by : "iptables -t nat...." and this has created a problemo..
guys,, is there a way to restore my previous configuration...and what shud i do so that i dont redo such mistakes..i.e do i know to create a backup of iptables before tweaking??? if yes, then please illuminate me how??
I'm not that big guru in security and iptables. When I wrote my firewall, I created a file called "firewall.sh" and wrote there all iptables commands. Then I run the script ./firewall.sh and it writes everything for me. To make changes, I edit the file and run it again, so I don't have to write everything again.
oh..thanks....i wish i had done the same...can i now remove my previous lines...by re-writing the correct lines..in firewall.sh...that is...will new entry remove my previous entries....???
thnks, but i was wondering if only last 2 entries can be removed...and keeping the old lines before that intact. By the way..how to read the entries in this table?? pls. do reply.
