Thanks for pointing that out. I looked back at an archived version, |
| 10 |
and it had stuff like... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
-A ICMP_IN -p icmp -m state --state NEW -j UNSOLICITED |
| 13 |
-A TCP_IN -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -j UNSOLICITED |
| 14 |
-A UDP_IN -p udp -m state --state NEW -j UNSOLICITED |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I.e. new external connection attempts were rejected, except for my |
| 17 |
lan which bypasses this rule so I can scp/ssh etc between my machines. |
| 18 |
No wonder I was puzzled by what I saw. |
