With all due respect, it’s all very well to love and care for animals, but sharing a bed or couch with them is annoying. For one, it’s not really hygienic. What’s more, it’s dangerous coz you never know when they could just go wild (no pun intended)

great step by step

Hey, very interesting post.

My written English is not so good so I write in German:

"Lieber den Spatz in der Hand, als die Taube auf dem Dach."

Yours sincerely

My parents Jack Russell dog loves to get in bed with me in the morning! I know its not normal and sounds a bit wierd, but i love him jumping an and having a snooze with me.

I did see a program on the tv very recently where a women did the same with her dog and in actually attacked her.. not sure what the exact reason was, but it bit her nose off....

Thanks. That does look like

Thanks. That does look like an improvement. Like I said in the post, I'm not really an iptables expert!

Ooops! Forgot the LocalHost...

iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

Simpler Alternative (?)

For a personal home computer (running no services for the outside world), here is a simpler version :

#!/bin/bash
############################################################
#---- Script to setup a simple firewall using iptables -----
###
# * Blocks all incoming connections, except those opened by
# me, or related to already open connections
# * Blocks all forward requests
# * Allows all outgoing connections
###
############################################################

# Clearing all previous rules
iptables -F
# Setting Default Policies
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
# Allowing already-established and related-incoming connections
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and had a terrible time keeping them off the furniture. My cats especially - they would spray or claw my couches. A few months ago, I started using Feliway's Anti-Marking Spray. It works really well - my cats have only had a few accidents since. Does anyone else notice that when one has an accident, the others will try to spray the same spot?

Yep

Pretty much sums it up, you're right!

firewall

Hi,
Great script - I've used it as the starter for my setup.

ShieldsUP notes that your script shows ports 0 and 1 as closed rather than in stealth mode, and also doesn't drop ICMP packets - meaning that if the machines are directly attached to the internet via ppp, or with an ADSL modem with no firewall, then they can be discovered.

Also your script doesn't handle dialup connections.

The following changes mitigates against these:

drop everything else on ppp
iptables -A INPUT -i ppp+ -p udp -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i ppp+ -p tcp -m tcp --syn -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i ppp+ -p icmp -j DROP
Explcitly deal with port 0
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --sport 0
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p udp --sport 0
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --dport 0
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p udp --dport 0
Explcitly deal with port 1
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --sport 1
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p udp --sport 1
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --dport 1
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p udp --dport 1

Thx ;)

thanks!though iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT is needed!

Well, we've only got a

Well, we've only got a rabbit, and she's in a hutch. So no furniture issues.

Off the furniture?

That's assuming that you still have furniture. Most of the time they just tear it up with their claws. I still can't live without them :)
