That's a matter of opinion, but for completion I do use rejects, but I tried to simplify the script: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -m limit --limit 20/minute -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p UDP -m limit --limit 20/minute -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable (I don't like the default reject method.)
