quick allow/block port
Posted: 18 Mar 2011, 18:32
Hello!
First of all, thank you for the excellent firewall script.
I would love to have a feature, if you would be so kind as to consider this, where I can quickly block or allow a port. Right now, the only way I understand that you can block or allow ports is to edit the configuration file and then restart. I am dealing with a distributed smtp/pop/imap attack and it would be great to just block without having to restart the entire firewall.
Thanks again for considering my suggestion and for the great script that you provide.
Best regards....
