The second rule will accept anything tcp on port 80. If you only want to drop udp, change the first rule to iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUBIF -p udp --dport 80 -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUBIF -p all --dport 80 -j ACCEPT If you are using an output rule that accepts everything outbound like the default Fedora firewall, you will have to put these rules in front of that. iptables -I OUTPUT -o $PUBIF -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT -o $PUBIF -p !tcp --dport 80 -j DROP Note the reversed order, since these are being inserted instead of appended. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
