Title: Blocking IPs
Post by: ElFroggio on July 22, 2004, 04:53:23 PM

Is there a better way of blocking specific external IPs from web & email than iptables [It's a long list].

Thanks

HI,

Iptables is the best way.

But you can configure it with conf files.
Take a look here :

But, you must adapt it to SME.

The idea : use a conf file where you put all your forbidden IP. And load this conf file in masq script.

You could use Mailrules contrib to block email from certain domains and use Dansguardian contrib to block web access to certain IP addresses.

See dmay & rmitchell contrib areas.
