I run a few different types of servers, and I would like to know how I can use IPTables to restrict access to these servers, mostly my FTPd.
I did google around a bit and found a tutoral or two on IPTables, but I really didn't understand most of it.
I'm running Debian etch/testing, kernel 2.6.11-1-386, iptables v1.3.1.
If anyone knows of a nice, easy tutoral on IPTables or if someone could give me a few examples on how to block packets from a certain IP/hostname and/or port, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
