Hi All,
I have two questions:
1. how do you allow IRC on iptables? the following lines doesnt seem to work:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 113 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
FYI tcp/133 port is for ident. irc is commonly on tcp/6667 but it varies per server.
if your doing masquerading or SNAT, take a look at your POSTROUTING chain in the nat table not the INPUT chain
eg.
$IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 6660:6669 -s <clientiporblock> -d <ipaddofircserver> -o $EXT_IF -j MASQUERADE
