Paypal / iptables
Since some times now I have this problem as paypal got into dynamic IP's of sort.
I have (my own made) captive portal on linux/iptables/php .. I'd like to allow paypal always.. and before I used 'iptables -I my_table -d paypal.com -j ACCEPT' or return or whatever/wherever... Nowdays that dont work. So best I could do is make a script that would "dig" ip for every x minutes and write that IP into mysql database that is latter read by my iptables whenever needs updating.. I think I got arround 100 IP's and database stopped populating finally.
My question is... how can I allow paypal without entering every single IP into iptables? I'm sure others had this problem.. I was just wondering how anybody solved it their way?..

iptables-apply
iptables-apply(8) System Manager's Manual iptables-apply(8)
NAME
iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely
SYNOPSIS
iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] ruleset-file
DESCRIPTION
iptables-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the user
whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this
case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout expired. The timeout can be set with -t.
When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore instead.
OPTIONS
-t seconds, --timeout seconds
Sets the timeout after which the script will roll back to the previous ruleset.
