Well yes and no. I have read hundreds of web pages concerning iptables. |
| 32 |
Somewhere I read a detailed explanation about pppoe hanging |
| 33 |
and iptables solutions to that problem. However, I did not bookmark the |
| 34 |
page, as I use a single static IP. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If you search (pppoe +iptables) and read long enough, I'm sure you'll |
| 37 |
run across this detailed page, so sorry I did not save the link.... |
