Special Forums IP Networking [SOLVED] AFWall+ iptables help Post 302890813 by 3happypenguins on Friday 28th of February 2014 05:16:32 PM

I got the code from here: Iptables Restricting Access By Time Of The Day - nixCraft

You're right about the --weekdays code though. I tried it with days, and the rule would apply-- I was getting an error.

I tried the rule by itself (no time) and it blocked me off of my router (and I assume every wireless AP). However, I can't get it to work with the time rule. The rule will apply fine, I'll reboot, but I still have access to the internet. I was going by my Android's time. I would set for a time that would give me enough time to reboot and still have access. That time would pass, and I would still have access to the internet.

Figured it out! I opened the terminal emulator, typed

Code:
date

And it gave me the date and time. It was giving me GMT. So all I had to do for the iptables rules was add 4 hours (I'm Atlantic Time in Canada).

Worked like a charm. Smilie

So my rule for the phone (if that's what my friend wants) will be

Code:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m time --timestart 03:30 --timestop 11:30 --weekdays Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat -j DROP

I do have one more question, though. I don't have data, nor does my friend's son, but in case there is a parent or someone reading this right now that wants to do something similar to what I did, and they are dealing with a phone that DOES have data, will iptable rules apply to data as well? I assume so... but I just want to make sure. Smilie

NAME
iptables-xml -- Convert iptables-save format to XML SYNOPSIS
iptables-xml [-c] [-v] DESCRIPTION
iptables-xml is used to convert the output of iptables-save into an easily manipulatable XML format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection pro- vided by your shell to write to a file. -c, --combine combine consecutive rules with the same matches but different targets. iptables does not currently support more than one target per match, so this simulates that by collecting the targets from consecutive iptables rules into one action tag, but only when the rule matches are identical. Terminating actions like RETURN, DROP, ACCEPT and QUEUE are not combined with subsequent targets. -v, --verbose Output xml comments containing the iptables line from which the XML is derived iptables-xml does a mechanistic conversion to a very expressive xml format; the only semantic considerations are for -g and -j targets in order to discriminate between <call> <goto> and <nane-of-target> as it helps xml processing scripts if they can tell the difference between a target like SNAT and another chain. Some sample output is: <iptables-rules> <table name="mangle"> <chain name="PREROUTING" policy="ACCEPT" packet-count="63436" byte-count="7137573"> <rule> <conditions> <match> <p>tcp</p> </match> <tcp> <sport>8443</sport> </tcp> </conditions> <actions> <call> <check_ip/> </call> <ACCEPT/> </actions> </rule> </chain> </table> </iptables-rules> Conversion from XML to iptables-save format may be done using the iptables.xslt script and xsltproc, or a custom program using libxsltproc or similar; in this fashion: xsltproc iptables.xslt my-iptables.xml | iptables-restore BUGS
