hi there,
i am quite familiar with setting up iptables rules in an initscript, or via iptables-{restore,save}. i could easily set up my own initscript to do this, but i was wondering what the correct "debian way" of setting up an iptables firewall is. is there a file where i should place my rules and let debian do the rest?
Debian supports shorewall, a great iptables preprocessor - get a recent version from backports.org, and you're laughin'!
:-) Especially when your rules are too tight.
The other day I didn't cut myself off from the laptop I connected from, but I couldn't ping anything.
Paul has some supplementary tools on his website that might be useful: I've not actually looked at them though.
