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

Would adblock work for this? Just block the address you don't want it
to access.
