Make packets go through when NFQUEUE app crashed

Make packets go through when NFQUEUE app crashed

[Aaron Lewis]

Hi,

I found that If the app that handles NFQUEUE crashed,
all packets goes through that queue got stuck.

Is there a way to prevent that from happening? 
I prefer to let ACCEPT all packets instead of blocking them, possible?

iptables -I INPUT -p icmp -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 0
# If no app handles that queue, no packets could go through

Hello

Can you read the paragraph about queue-bypass in the article I point you to and tell me if it seems clear enough ;)

Hi Eric,

--queue-bypass wasn't a standard feature I guess?

Is there a patch available? I'm running iptables v1.4.12

the NFQUEUE target option --queue-bypass is standard since kernel
2.6.39. Iptables has this since v1.4.11.
