Hi g00r00

[snip]

Some default event types have been made in the default install and for each
operating system, the following commands can be used to see if the blocked
IPs actually make it into the Firewall:

sudo iptables -L INPUT -v -n | less
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name="IP Block"

[snip]

I suggest you add the actual shell line examples to the above text for
Windows and Linux else folks may miss this and need to install a fresh copy
of A36 in order to see what they need to set up.

Also suggest you include some command lines for each OS that can show how a novice user can remove a IP Blocked IP address from OS using iptables or
netsh ... just in case something is blocked using this system but then they want to unblock it for whatever reason... putting some info in now may save a bunch of 'how to I undo the IP Block for xxx.xxx.xxx.xx ?' questions..

Best, Paul

That is sort of why those two lines in the whatsnew are there... they show how to list the blocked rules. I just need to go back and figure out the commands for the other functions and I was being lazy. I just went back and
reformatted it and added more information based on my testing so far.

OK thanks! I will need to do some major updating on the wiki when this all comes out in a full alpha release... the more I look the more I find things I'll need to update and also revise in video form also.

I was looking for some inspiration to get back in to the videos and A36 will kick me in the pants to do so :)

ll firewall show rule name="IP Block"How about us
ing UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) instead
?Personally I think the command syntax is way mor
e user friendly. Onecould simply use:
sudo ufw deny from PUT_THE_IP_HERE to anyor
sudo ufw deny from PUT_THE_IP_HERE to any port 23
And to view a summary of open/closed ports as well as bloc
ked IP's:sudo ufw status num
