Here's what I do: -N LOGDROP -A LOGDROP -j LOG --log-prefix "$IPTABLES drop:" -A LOGDROP -j DROP Then you can add lines for the things you want logged like this: -A INPUT -s www.xxx.yyy.zzz/aa -j LOGDROP I tend to use LOGDROP, rather than DROP, for everything I drop, except for some really common things.
