and the outgoing is the firewall's rejections
I'm no expert, but I believe the firewall can be set to utterly
ignore things it blocks rather than sending a rejection. Generally
this is more useful for things connected to the internet at large
since you'll just get random probes rather than torrential attacks
once they figure out there is something there they can try to break
into.
The default for firewalls is to drop packets instead of rejecting them.
Rejecting sends an ICMP packet back saying the connection wasn't allowed.
How do I check what is actually happening?
If the firewall is sending the ICMP packets, then how do I change it so
it merely drops the packets?
