Greetings all;
I was just locked up by what may have been a ransomware attack by a link
from pocket,
part of firefox's default screen. I did a power down, and had quite a
few msg's during
the reboot about orphaned inodes but everything seems to be working ok.
I ran iptables for quite some years mostly to lock the bots out since
some don't pay
any attention to robots.txt.
But iptables is out of support, replaced I guess with nft.
Its installed but not running ack htop,
So #1 whats the command to fire it up including at boot time?
#2, whats the command to add a drop rule when I find a bots address in
the logs?
The man page while quite voluminus is as usual mostly bereft of useful
examples.
Thank you nftables experts.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
