Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I am using shorewall on my local computer (the same I'm surfing the web |
4 |
with). My skills with iptables are not really good and my understanding |
5 |
of networking also has some holes in it... However, I'm trying to |
6 |
prevent firefox from accessing a third party site; I'm logging onto a |
7 |
site with firefox. With netstat I can see that besides the usual ip |
8 |
address belonging to the site another ip-address (not belonging to the |
9 |
original site) shows up. While trying to block the additional ip address |
10 |
with both "iptables -A INPUT -s xxxx -j DROP" and "iptables -A OUTPUT -d |
11 |
xxxx -j DROP" it still sends a SYN request to this site. This makes |
12 |
firefox just sit there waiting for a time-out. How can I prevent firefox |
13 |
from accessing the other site, while still accessing the original one? |
14 |
|

Best regards |
