iptables versus hosts denied

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




In terms of performance and when a packet is dropped or denied, what's best to use? iptables or hosts.deny ? Let's assume for a moment here that one has a very long list of IP ranges that are being blocked, would using iptables to deny the ranges work better/faster than having hosts.deny block them? Just wondering ...
