Questions on IPTables & N900
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to install iptables firewall on N900? As far as I am aware, the default kernel is not compatible with iptables, or is it? If it's not, how do I install both the compatible kernel and the iptables itself? I've found some posts which are related to my question but since I am new to Linux I still couldn't understand how to install them :confused: Also, if the default kernel of N900 is not compatible with iptables and if I do a firmware upgrade on my N900, will the compatible kernel got replaced so that I will have to reinstall it again? Thank you in advance. ;) P.S.: If there's something wrong with what I said, please correct me since I'm not sure if I understood those things properly. All I want is a firewall :D |
Re: Questions on IPTables & N900
any answer please? :confused:
by the way, I've just found iptables package here: http://maemo.org/packages/view/iptables/ Can I just use it? Which one should I download? And do I just install the deb file? |

you would need to compile your own kernel and put it in an image and flash the device with it I believe. Not ure if you cn recompile kernel on device, but I doubt it Quote:

Thank you for your answer. :)
By the way, can I just use the package here and how do I use it?: http://maemo.org/packages/view/iptables/ The explanation says that: Quote:

Also discussed in this thread.
I'm still not 100% sure you cannot not do very basic iptables (setting input policy to drop for example) with the stock kernel. I have not tried it and I'm running a custom kernel because I'm developing a mobile hotspot. Compiling a new kernel (or just modules in case they do not require any special/extended symbols in the kernel proper, but netfilter does...) is not really that hard once you have a working scratchbox (see for example the bottom of the hotspot project page). There is also kernel-maemo which is a (separate) custom kernel with even more features than the hotspot one (which basically adds only netfilter and qos). As for "sshd available and working" only if you explicitly install it. |

By stock kernel, did you mean the default kernel which came with the device?
And if it is, has anyone tried? |

All I want is to block all incoming connection and block unused outgoing ports, allowing only outgoing ports that I use. |
