ipt_REJECT: can't work with bridges ip_route_me_harder can't create the route cache when the outdev is the same with the indev for the skbs whichout a valid protocol set. __mkroute_input functions has this check: 1998 if (skb->protocol != htons(ETH_P_IP)) { 1999 /* Not IP (i.e. ARP). Do not create route, if it is 2000 * invalid for proxy arp. DNAT routes are always valid. 2001 * 2002 * Proxy arp feature have been extended to allow, ARP 2003 * replies back to the same interface, to support 2004 * Private VLAN switch technologies. See arp.c. 2005 */ 2006 if (out_dev == in_dev && 2007 IN_DEV_PROXY_ARP_PVLAN(in_dev) == 0) { 2008 err = -EINVAL; 2009 goto cleanup; 2010 } 2011 } This patch gives the new skb a valid protocol to bypass this check. In order to make ipt_REJECT work with bridges, you also need to enable ip_forward.
