Hi Mr Rolf Okay, I will check these values; /proc/net/ip_conntrack etc. Generally it is normal, that there are INVALID connections, right? Yes, I'm seeing this syslog tag. Should I remove it from my iptables script (e.g. -j LOG --log-prefix etc.)?

This whole discussion seems off-topic to me, but I'll try to clear this up. Daniel, I believe you are seeing a syslog tag called '[INVALID in] ' or '[INVALID out] ', nothing more. See the LOG target in the iptables man page (eg, -j LOG --log-prefix '[INVALID in] '). On 2013-04-09, at 3:51 PM

Hi As we know iptables INVALID state means, that the packet is associated with no known connection, right? So, if I have a lot of INVALID entries in my log files, does it means, that something is wrong? Hidden process etc.? An example of logged entries; t4 kernel: [18776.221378] [INVALID in] IN=
