Hi all :-) First off all I ask sorry for this newbies question. I study iptables and I need speak with someone about my first iptables rules, my situation: internet --- SERVER --- lan On the server I wrote this rules and I'd like understand if I can modify and/or add new rules to blocks any malicious network attacks (from internet and lan too - a compromised internal lan client could build problems). (I use also fail2ban and psad). Thanks for help!
