Author: Stephane Ouellette Status: ItWorksForMe(tm) This patch adds CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONDITION which allows you to match firewall rules against condition variables stored in the /proc/net/ipt_condition directory. Multiple rules can match on a single condition variable. Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m condition --condition web_ok --dport 80 -j ACCEPT To allow this rule to match: echo 1 > /proc/net/ipt_condition/web_ok To disable this rule: echo 0 > /proc/net/ipt_condition/web_ok
