Title: Iptables
Post by: flux on November 04, 2007, 11:28:24 am
i saw earlier that in kernel 2.6.23.1, there isn't the iptables modules. before, i tried OZ, angstrom (and other distros)... never there was iptables-modules.
my zaurus, as it is a very mobile computer, may be very often facing the wifi attacks from wifi, both on the internet, and in my university-campus.

The question is : how do you guys set-up a firewall right now ? is there a way ? or nobody has one and nobody care ? don't you guys think it could be a "plus" to be able to launch iptables when our zaurus comes on an untrusted network ?

after a quick investigation, i found out that it already is firewalled (wlan0 at least)... which is a problem :/ how do i accept to open one port or another ??? that is the question
