Question: A good iptables tutorial?

Posted by Schiz0 on Wed 24 Aug 2005 at 08:11

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,
