Hi all. Im trying to use the limit module for ssh conections. After this rule, i cant do ssh not even once. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m limit -limit 5/min -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP (Not other rulez in any chain.) iptables -L -v Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 22 packets, 2784 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:22 state NEW limit: avg 5/min burst 5 0 0 DROP tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:22 (after triyng a `ssh localhost' with no luck) Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 1041 packets, 120K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 1 60 ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:22 state NEW limit: avg 5/min burst 5 7 400 DROP tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:22 I can see the package is being dropped.
