Hello,
I am using shorewall on my local computer (the same I'm surfing the web
with). My skills with iptables are not really good and my understanding
of networking also has some holes in it... However, I'm trying to
prevent firefox from accessing a third party site; I'm logging onto a
site with firefox. With netstat I can see that besides the usual ip
address belonging to the site another ip-address (not belonging to the
original site) shows up. While trying to block the additional ip address
with both "iptables -A INPUT -s xxxx -j DROP" and "iptables -A OUTPUT -d
xxxx -j DROP" it still sends a SYN request to this site. This makes
firefox just sit there waiting for a time-out. How can I prevent firefox
from accessing the other site, while still accessing the original one?
Best regards
Peter K
