Server :: IPtables And TC - Limit To 1.5Mbps
Dec 27, 2010
Does anyone know a simple out of the box option to limit traffic by IP with iptables? Output to each connected IP should be limited to to 1.5Mbps but I don;t want to limit incoming connections from the web. Ideally something with a tutorial because the LARC papers and stuff are impossible to read. For example, the user connects by VPN and requests the webpage [URL]. This should be sent to them at 1.5Mbs but if user 2 connects to [URL], this should also be sent at 1.5Mbps but the incoming ..... connection needs to be allowed to be unlimited to prevent incoming throttling..

I am trying to limit bandwidth of certain ip addresses on my server. I have been doing hours of reading and not getting very far... So far I believe the iptables command is
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.44 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.45 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.46 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.47 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
and now I just need the tc command to read those marks and limit bandwidth, I have a gigabit connection and would like to limit each of these ip addresses to 10mbit in and out.

I have a SSH server set up at home listening on port 22. I have hardened the server so it is pretty secure but I want to make it even safer by editing my iptables to rate-limit incoming connections and DROP false login attempts. I have tried these tutorials but I just cant get it to work:[URL]I want the debian-administration.org tutorial to work but when I try to add the first rule in terminal:sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --setI get the following:Bad argument --set'I am new to iptables and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong when I try to set it up. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS with iptables v1.4.4.

I'm trying to limit access to port 8443 on our server to 2 specific IP addresses. For some reason, access is still being allowed even though I drop all packets that aren't from the named IP addresses. The default policy is ACCEPT on the INPUT chain and this is how we want to keep it for various reasons I wont get into here. Here's the output from iptables -vnL
[Code]...
Note the actual IP we are using is masked here with 123.123.123.123. Until I can get everything working properly, we're only allowing access from 1 IP instead of 2. We can add the other one once it all works right. I haven't worked with iptables very much. So I'm quite confused about why packets matching the DROP criteria are still being allowed.

I'm a newbie in the world of netfilter/iptables. I've read an article about iptables and rate limit module:
Code: iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT The firewall will let the first 5 packets in in the first minute, -limit-burst 5; this means, however, that the packets/minute now is 5, so any further packets are blocked until packets/minute = 1, i.e. 5 minutes later. In the sixth minute, packets/minute will be 5/6 < 1, so another ping request will be let in. When the extra ping request is admitted, the ratio becomes 6/6 = 1 again, and packets are DROPped again until the next minute.
Now I have some problems in understanding how it works.
For example: I want ping google.com in this way: the kernel firewall permits to send the first 5 packet to google.com (--limit-burst 5) and then it blocks the remaining packets for 5 minutes. At sixth minute (because I wish a limit rate equal to 1/minute: --limit 1/minute) one packet can send to google again. And so on.
So my rule should be:
Code: iptables -A OUTPUT -d url_of_google -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT In this way, if i digit
Code: ping -f url_of_gogle I expect that the first 5 packets are accepted (and so zero '.' will print on the screen) and then for the remaining 5 minutes no one packets will be accepted (and so a long string of '.' will print). But it doesn't work...
In man pages of ping we read (about -f option):
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.

I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:
Quote:
5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php
The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)

I'm trying to limit the number of the ICMP packets reaching my server, so I'm using the limit module of iptables, unfortunately it seems the limit I set is totally ignored as I can easily send tens of ICMP packets and get a reply in less than 0.3 second Quote:
m3xican@m3xtop:~$ sudo ping -i0 -c20 x.x.x.x 20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 230ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 184.969/185.895/189.732/1.301 ms, pipe 16, ipg/ewma 12.138/186.232 ms This is the rule I'm using to accept ICMP packets (default setting is DROP)
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -m limit --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT
And these are the kernel modules related to iptables
Code:
Module Size Used by
xt_limit 1382 0

I have a linux firewall. I want to limit a ssh connection number from local network to internet .
Example :
Internal pc (192.168.0.10) start a ssh scan to the external (internet) host.
I want that iptables limit that host (192.168.0.10) and block ssh connection from this host at 3 attempt.

I am at a loss how to prevent Denial of Service attacks to port 25 and not block legitimate connections from 2 Barracuda 800(s) and block smart phones such as iPhones/Blackberrys/iPhones that use the server smtp.server.com for email.
Presently for port 25
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
The 2 Barracuda 800(s) make port 25 connections all the time, plus users with smart_phones have the incoming server type:
IMAP
pop.server.com
smtp.server.com
Is there a way to keep Denial of Service attacks from happening with iptables rules without causing blocking to the Barracuda(s) that make constant port 25 connections & smart phones that poll? I was thinking if I allowed the Barracuda(s) in these lines
-s (barracuda)24.xx.xx.xx -d (emailserver)24.00.xx.xx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
Where the source would be the Barracuda going to the email server. It would be allowed, then I am left with how to allow other connections like Smart_Phones that connect via Port 25. I am thinking if I put rules in place doing connection counts in a minute it would result in errors connecting to the server and people would start complaining. Plus any limiting may result in blocking real traffic. Then would I need to allow the ISP range in the above example to accept port 25, I am still left with how to drop a flood/denial of service attack.

Can I, with only the use of IPTABLES, limit the incoming bandwith for a protocol? We have for example servers that have a FTP and HTTP server running and whenever HTTP has a lot of connections open, the other uploads/downloads get a timeout. I know I can limit the number of connections but prefer to limit on protocol level. Is this possible using IPTABLES and if so, can someone indicate how to proceed or provide a link? If it's not possible can someone point me to the right tool for the job?

I'm using Fedora 9 (64 bit).At the moment, I'm trying to download Fedora 11 using a bit torrent, which is reportedly connected at an average of about 25kbps.The only problem is that whilst the download is active, I can hardly even surf the net properly, even though my current isp connection speed is 5.5mbps.There don't appear to be any background processes running that would utilise any of the bandwidth, and as soon as I pause the torrent the problem disappears.I'm dual booting with Vista, and I don't seem to get the same problem under that OS, so I'm guessing it's something to do with my network settings in Fedora.

I have some domains on a VPS server. Typical account memory usage for all domains runs at 50% of available, but I have a problem. One domain is causing me trouble because intermittently traffic will spike on that domain, causing so many requests within 1 min that I exceed my memory allocation for my entire VPS package. Apache is then killed but the virtualization software and Apache must then be restarted.
A sample snippet from tops right before the sever went down would like like this:
All of that memory usage adds up. I would like to "throttle" the number of processes that user/domain can run. I think this would be a quick and easy way to keep the domain from taking down my entire VPS. My understanding is that I could do this with the /etc/security/limits.conf file.
Is that correct?
I have never done this before. Do I want to set a hard or soft limit? I think if I wanted to limit the number of processes for "coldclim" to 15 I would add a line to limits.conf like this:
Code:
Assuming that is correct, can anyone tell me how the website would respond once it reached its limit? Would visitor queries become sluggish, or would the website not come up for them at all?

I would like to be able to schedule a limit for an IP connection for my kid's computers/iPods. Since I know the MAC addresses of their various hardware items, is there a way to shut down their connectivity at a particular time via the DHCP server or perhaps a firewall rule?
Running Ubuntu 10.04 and Shorewall is being used for the firewall.

Does anyone know of a way of limiting a print-job size from samba?
I know how to limit a print job size form cups, and how to require x amount of free space before accepting a job. I've even dug up how to require x amount of free space for samba to accept a print job, but I can't see how to limit samba to only certain sized jobs.
Someone tried to print a >1G file to my print-server this morning, causing me to have a less relaxed Monday than I had hoped. Because it ran out of space before spooling, it was never limited by cups. Because I had to get rid of it ASAP so people could get work done, I have no idea who's it was, or where it came from. Scouring logs didn't give me any good leads either.

More of a "Knowledge" question... Is their a limit to the number of reads a single file can take? Say for example I have a file named config.xml in an htdocs directory and a XMLReader function from PHP reads some value(s) out of this file for every connection of Apache or NGinx. Now suppose my site receives a gigantic spike in traffic (but Apache stays opertational through it all)... Is their a point at which the underlying system would simply not be able to open+read config.xml anymore??

I have been trying to increase the message_size_limit on my Debian 2.4.26 box with postfix 2.3.8. For example, I set message_size_limit and mailbox_size_limit to 104857600 (100m) and restart postfix. Running postconf -n confirms that it has changed. However when I send a test message it kicks it back saying the message size limit is 16777216 (16m, which is, incidentally, the default value of the berkeley_db_create_buffer_size parameter)

I notice that when someone sends a message from my Postfix server & it can't find the destination server or if there is a incorrect domain recipient entered by mistake, it sits in my Postfix queue for days. I think perhaps 4-5 days for some reason. I was wondering if I could shorten the time so the sender gets a delivery failure message kicked back to them in 24 hours rather than waiting 4 or so days.
