what filtering to do on the OUTPUT chain?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  i've had a number of people tell me that, while they put a
good deal of thought into their INPUT filtering, they simply
ACCEPT all outgoing traffic since, if their input filtering
is working properly, there's no reason to stop outgoing
packets.

  comments?  is there a FAQ that deals with what one should
filter on its way out?  i'm restricting this to the simple case
of firewalling a single host -- no routers, NAT, etc.
