It >clearly said "Delete on entry, this can be used to block traffic >(you have to set >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal to zero)". The documentation seems to be off here. If you only delete a ct entry, the next packet (even if a TCP ACK or something) will make a new ct with NEW as a ctstate. To really have a TCP/SCTP connection blocked after deletion of the ct entry, you have to only allow NEW ctstates with the initla TCP/SCTP packet (SYN/INIT). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
