#13 Re: Why apply firewall AFTER bringing up interface? Posted by Steve (82.32.xx.xx) on Sat 22 Mar 2008 at 23:14 If you're like me then you might have an exception which says something like: Allow all connections from foo.bar.com. If you run that rule before networking is brought up then DNS resolution will fail .. So I accept the small risk to avoid having to use IPs not DNS. (Again relying on DNS to be correct is also a hole, but I think it is a small risk.) Steve
