All good, except then you have to muck around with iptables. I once |
| 19 |
knew a bit about that when it first replaced ipchains in linux |
| 20 |
distros... thats' been yrs ago, and I've completely forgotten whatever |
| 21 |
I may have learned back then. I ended up switching to PF filter on |
| 22 |
OpenBSD for firewall/router... and have now forgotten all about that too. |

Are you using openWRT on a router yourself? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If so, is there a basic iptables script rigged up for numbskulls to be |
| 27 |
able to add and subtract from it readily? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I actually wrote such a thing for myself way back when. (The part for |
| 30 |
numbskulls, not iptables) but would not look forward to trying to |
| 31 |
remaster what ever I need to know about iptables to use openWRT. |
