Re: multiport needs `-p tcp', `-p udp' - Why?

Rules are independent. The port rule does inherit anything from the chain rule so when you tell iptables to block port(s) you have to specify the protocol again.

U'll have to let me know why "-p udp" is needed when the chain can only
have udp packets, and therefor can only process udp packets.

I dont want to test over (( and over ) and over ) again when I know that
the packet is already KNOWN to be from eth1 and of protocol UDP.

adding "-p UDP" to multiport does make iptables happy, but appears to be
a useless test.

iptables v1.4.5: multiport needs `-p tcp', `-p udp', `-p udplite', `-p
sctp' or `-p dccp'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
