Hello,

thank you for this howto. It really helped me.

Do you maybe also have a howto for a dns update script? I need a script that checks my dns adresses every 5 minutes for a ip change and update the FW if the ip is indeed changed.

Kit -

Two have iptables start automatically with your ruleset, you have to do two things: save your ruleset somewhere and apply it at boot time. The documentation above shows you how to do that. If you simply apply your rules and reboot, your rules will be lost as soon as the machine powers down.

Hi,I have some problems about iptables rules under Ubuntu .
Is it necessary to create some script llike that to build the firewall,Will the rules got lost when I restart the server.

I create a simple firewall with the function of NAT,then restart the server.
type commands below in the terminal:
iptables -L -v

But display nothing.
And it seemd that the NAT function and the rules made last time are still available to use.

Hoping for your email.
Thanks.

Bartek:

That method would have the same effect. I normally just try to keep the /etc/network/interfaces clear of extra stuff, but that's just my own personal preference.

Thanks for the post but quick question, what's the difference between doing this and just setting a line in /etc/network/interfaces?

pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules

Thanks!
