NAME

       arno-iptables-firewall - Single- & multi-homed firewall script with DSL/ADSL support.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall [start|stop|status|force-reload|restart]

DESCRIPTION

       arno-iptables-firewall  is  an iptables configuration script with support for both IPv4 & IPv6.  While it
       is extremely easy to use one can nevertheless use it in quite complicated environments.

       All available options are explained in the extensively documented configuration file.

       The external interface of the system needs to be set up properly  in  the  firewalls  configuration  file
       (EXT_IF).  The default behavior of the firewall is to deny all incoming connections.

       For  additional requirements not covered by the configuration file custom iptables rules can be placed in
       /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/custom-rules.  This file is automatically parsed by the service script.

       See the README file (eg. in /usr/(local/)share/doc/arno-iptables-firewall) for an example how  to  manage
       logging of firewall events through syslogd.

       The arno-fwfilter script can be used to make the firewall logs more readable for humans (see manpage).

       Several  plugins  for  the  firewall  script  are  available  online.  Plugins  can  be  downloaded  from
       http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/ Please see the README file for more information.
