Apr 21, 2011Installing a router, and I need to completely "wipe" iptables (flush I mean) on both computers, and I think I run ufw/gufw on both, so that would need to be uninstalled. The router is very secure, has NAT, etc, etc, and I'd rather setup all that side of things in one point, rather than on each computer.

Ubuntu Security :: Iptables Is Not Automatically Displayed?
May 18, 2010I suspect this is one of these questions from Window users who see something different in Ubuntu.
My understanding is that the Ubuntu firewall (iptables) is always on. However, the GUI client (firestarter) shows this more obviously.
I suppose I am used to ZoneAlarm in XP where everything was displayed more obviously.
So, iptables in not automatically displayed, but is working, right?
Ubuntu Security :: Iptables - Script Is Not Working?

Ubuntu Security :: Configuring Iptables To Allow VNC And OpenVPN?
Jun 20, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a VM in Hyper-V, and accessing it via VNC with a machine in the same broadcast domain. I'm using OpenVPN to connect to XeroBank. I have instructions for configuring iptables to permit establishing and using the XeroBank connection, while blocking all other traffic on eth0. I've followed them successfully. I need to also permit the VNC connection, and haven't managed that. FWIW, the VM is at 192.168.111.12::5900 and the workstation is 192.168.111.2.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Iptables Port 25 Is Open
Feb 28, 2011I've recently installed 10.10 server edition, and I must say it was a pleasant suprise, it's just the way I like it. I use it as a squeezebox-server. But I've run into a problem with the firewall. I did a portscan, which told me there are more ports open then I've told UFW to open. Among which port 25 and 119, when I telnet from another PC to those ports, the connection gets accepted, although there is no answer to any commands (as expected, there's no mail server running). Iptables print-outs also don't mention anything about the respective ports or a daemon that could be responsable, and the same applies to "ps -e" or "ps aux".
Iptables seems to be working, when I remove the rules to allow samba to work, I can't reach the shares, and when I insert them again I can reach the shares. "sudo ufw deny from any" as last rule doesn't change anything either (deny incoming is default (although I never issued the command "ufw status verbose" says it is) so it shouldn't, but ports 25 and 119 shouldn't be open either).
Ubuntu Security :: Iptables For Router/proxy?
Apr 1, 2011Rather than use pfsense, etc I decided to create my own router/proxy etc based on an atom base with 2 nics.Proxy/routing/dns/etc all working fine, I now though want to lockdown the fw rules.ETH1 is the WAN NICETH2 is the LAN NICI'm guessing i want to allow anything out of ETH1, but only allow incoming to ETH1 when its established or related... What about ETH2 though? Any ideas pls? Am used to configuring iptables on single nic, certainly not a router.

Security :: Iptables :everything Works Except Ftp
Jun 3, 2010i set up a dmz to have a internet web server and ftp server, and ssh only from local network, so i wrote a iptables script to load during boot :
[Code]...
The problem is that everything works fine ( i have the same rules for other services such as samba, nfs, mysql on another server) BUT ftp there is no way to make it work. not even locally.when i try to connect, i log in, but while listing the directory i get MLSD ... and it hangs like this for a moment, then i get error message "connection time out" , "impossible to list directory". if i turn off the iptables script no problem,ftp works fine.. but why all services work and ftp no?
how do i have to modify the rules? what is strange also is that if i set as OUTPUT policy "accept", the server seems to be offline."host unknown" error message. I was thinking the rule INPUT is fine cause at least i can login, but the dir list is not going out, so gotta modify output rules. or state?
Security :: IPTables - How To Set Default Allow
Mar 19, 2010I've started a new job and have inherited a couple of RHEL4 64-bit servers. The firewall on them is currently disabled. I'm struggling to get them up and running as iptables is not the most user-friendly application. This lead me to downloading and trying a GUI front-end: Guarddog. Great app! But it doesn't have the default behavior I'm looking for. Here is what I need:
Default behavior: Firewall should be wide open, allowing ALL ports/IP's/TCP/UDP in and out of the server.
Blacklist: Oracle TCP port 1521 needs to be blocked in/out of the server.
This will help get us passed our company's security vulnerability scan. (We aren't able to patch/upgrade Oracle at this time because we'd lose vedor support with a legacy app). I will use these settings as a starting point, and then once I learn more and get more comfortable with iptables (or a GUI app) then I can fine tune things to make them more secure. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) once I get a script I just copy it into /etc/rc.firewall and it will load when iptables starts.
Security :: Iptables To Block Ip From Ftp?
Mar 6, 2010Is this how I would do that?
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 21 -d ! 168.192.1.2 -j DROP
This should block all incoming connections on port 21 from 192.168.1.2, correct? Thus preventing that IP from logging into my FTP.
