    Hi all,

    I want to run my board on port 23, but I keep getting unwanted
    connections to it. Mostly from Chinese hackers, I presume. Anyone know
    a way to solve this, with iptables or the like?

    Joseph

    I know it's a real pain to try and deal with it. Try google and search for the keyword iptables block ip address. To block a whole country there is some information posted on google that will explain how to do it.

    I allow my bbs system to conenct to port 23 but due to getting to much abuse I switched it to port 2300.

    You should all try this:

    https://github.com/punktniklas/NiKom/tree/master/Extras/Botcheck

    Me and others have been using it for quite a while to stop script kiddies taking down our Amiga BBS:es with too many telnet connections and it works great.
