This doesn't confirm that it is.

Yes, patch your kernel or enable this module. If unsure: lsmod | grep ipt_connlimit No result? Then 'modprobe ipt_connlimit' It works ? Then make sure it properly registered against netfilter: cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches | grep connlimit > > Thanks in advange. > > Regards > HTH, Samuel
