[pve-devel] firewall option nosmurfs and tcpflags

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I mean, I we have a bad packet (smurf or bad tcpflags) attack,

for each packet it need to go to the whole chains (vmbrxxx,tapxxx,..) to match the nosmurf or tcpflag block rule.


just put the rule in PVEFW-FORWARD, after

-A PVEFW-FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID -j DROP
-A PVEFW-FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT



-A PVEFW-FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID,NEW -j PVEFW-smurfs
-A PVEFW-FORWARD -p tcp -j PVEFW-tcpflags

oh, how can we improve performance?
