>The overhead of TARPIT created in conntrack can completely be avoided by >using NOTRACK and TARPIT targets together. Probably, but it does not belong to the topic ("leaking blocked ip addr.s"). On the NOTRACK, I've got a question, or maybe just a weird problem: NOTRACK is only valid in the mangle table, and TARPIT is one of the last rules in my filter:INPUT set. So it looks to me like I would need to copy all filter:INPUT rules that -j ACCEPT into mangle:INPUT - because a plain -j NOTRACK would disable tracking everything, and I can't just do -p tcp --dport 25 -j NOTRACK, because it's a lot more than just dport 25.
