Hi, What iptables table/rule can I use to drop RST (TCP) packets that're in reply to SYN? Below is a picture of how I think it does it if everything is accepted. (Final conntrack states in square brackets.) _Client_ _Firewall_ _Server_ -SYN-> [NEW] -SYN-> <-RST- [CLOSED] <-RST- This is what I want it to do: -SYN-> [NEW] -SYN-> [CLOSED] <-RST- ^ IF TCP & [NEW]: DROP '<-RST-' & SET [CLOSED] I've tried mucking around with some rules but instead of getting the NEW state when SYN comes along, I always get ESTABLISHED. (I think I'm using the wrong table.) _Client_'s interface is ethC, _Server_'s interface is ethS. _Server_'s IP address is 10.0.0.1, port PORT. _Client_'s address is arbitary.
