Try this iptables -t mangle -N local iptablts -t mangle -A INPUT -i $INET_IFACE -j local iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o $INET_IFACE -j local iptables -t mangle -A local -p tcp -m layer7 --l7proto http -j DROP I only think it may work, i say this because local packets are passing INPUT and OUTPUT, while routed packets will always pass POSTROUTING (and l7-filter need to make a match both ways: incoming and outgoing packets) On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 21:58:52 +0100, FB <register@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi there, > > I have a little problem.
