My suggestion would be to find the holes in the system. There are couple good networking tools ie: Iptstate Iptraf-ng netstat-nat conntrackd-tools The above tools have the options to see what parts of the IP is not ports such as: 53 80 443 Which you can control easily. You can easily add a DROP or REJECT rule in iptables for all new connections on other then these ports as a starter. It's very simple to write and I think you should dig a bit on iptables so you would be able to understand how it works better to give you a glimpse into the networking security world. This amazing site and page: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptables Gives a better understanding to iptables and also on networking. If you need more guidance let me know.
