Caveat to what I just said - if you are doing masquerading behind a single IP, then you don't need to worry about the FORWARD ruleset. Only packets associated with connections that are being masqueraded will get sent on to internal networks - unless you have specific ports that are translated to internal services. <EOL> Tib On Sat, 11 Jun 2005, Sadus . wrote: > I usually block only in the INPUT chain, doesn't it protect my internal > network? > I only have SNATed the internal network to the external IP/ > > On Sat, 2005-06-11 at 12:16 -0500, Tib wrote: > > Hi there, > > > > Thought I'd chip in since this used to be identical to how I had my system > > setup.
