Am Wednesday, den 1 August hub Maxim Veksler folgendes in die Tasten: Hi! > I have my machine configured to allow all traffic in INPUT table, but > I would like to block access to port tcp22 from all besides several > ip's. > The following rules as the basic of what I'm trying to achieve: > /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s ! a.b.c.d/29 -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP > /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s ! e.f.g.h -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP > How can I do a "AND" between them as in > if (-s ! a.b.c.d/29 AND -s ! e.f.g.h) then -j DROP ? You can't. But what's wrong with the two rules? What you could do if you like is to pass every connection to port 22 to a subchain like this: iptables -N filter_ssh_access iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j filter_ssh_access iptables -A filter_ssh_access -s ! a.b.c.d/29 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-admin-prohibited iptables -A filter_ssh_access -s ! e.f.g.h -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-admin-prohibited You might have noticed that I've changed the "DROP" to "REJECT" with fitting type which will make the live of you and other people easier when debugging anything related to ssh access to this box.
