Try firewall-wizards or netfilter. : Some say that DROP is the ideal manner to deal with non authorized : requests, but using DROP let the atacker know the ports which are : filtered. Using REJECT simply add one step to all proccess, sending the : reject signal back to the oringin. -Martin P.S., I'd prefer to DROP in most cases. -- Martin A.
