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/cus-
       tom-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.
