[leaf-user] shorewall.log reveals strange local connection attempts

Hi, After some recent maintenance work on our Bering 1.2 box, shorewall.log has begun showing strange connection attempts from local adresses in the network range 10.1.1.x to our ISP allocated IP address. Any ideas what can be the cause of this? None of the internal hosts use this address range,

Thank you for your responses Tom & Ray. I can now see that the connections from rfc1918 address 10.1.1.d is coming into ppp0 - yes. You both mention that it might be a user on our LAN who is being rejected from initiating connections to a remote port 80. This may be the cause, so consider this d

Dear listeners, using happily shorewall & accounting, I would like to count the amounts of traffic. Unfortunately iptables prints out that numbers in a form like 30K or 30M instead of 3 and 3000. man iptables: That can be switched by using the parameter "-x" OK. But where I have to set tha

Hi folks. Easy question for you! I am running Bering uClib latest version with HSorewall 1.4.9 and I would like to reduce the huge number of entries in my logs that seem repetitive and contain no new information. It makes them hard to read. I would like to be able to parse my logs and modify my
