Grouping/Filter Firewall Rules in Forward Chain

[drg]

Hi

I’ve an installation with zeroshell 1.0.beta16 which works great for multiple vlans (40), and several official IPs.

At the moment we have a litte management problem because the Forward Firewall chain has filled up with over 220 rules.

Is it possible to filter/view this chain to group some rules for special services or vlans ? We are using custom iptables commands which helps but I can’t group the rules to get a quick overview.

Any ideas how to handle this ?

Thanks
Jens

Hi – I am facing the cca same issue.

I am creating different chains as groups, but they are not working.

On this site:

There is that:

In order to make use of your custom chain, you’ll have to jump to it from somewhere. Let’s add a jump to the fun-filter chain we’ve just created straight from the INPUT chain:

root@mouse:~# iptables -t filter -A INPUT -j fun-filter

How to do this on the admin console?

Thanks
Patrik
