Subject: newbie question about port blocking
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 08:49:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <003901c304e8$24b56fa0$2d64a8c0@murrahboy> (raw)

Sorry for the elementary nature of this question ... I've just installed
linux and have a transparent proxy working using iptables ... but my goal is
to block ALL non-http traffic in both directions ... that is, i want to
allow web access but no instant messenging, no ftp, etc.

is there a simple line or two that i can add to iptables?  please feel free
to tell me to RTFM, but the tutorial i just downloaded is 151 pages, and i
admit that i'm looking for a fast solution this morning ... (i'll study the
manual on the way home tonight on the train -- i promise!)

can anyone help me out?  all advice MOST appreciated.
