Welcome to Iptablesrocks.org
Welcome to iptablesrocks.org! Iptablesrocks was created to provide a publicly available, easy to understand guide and tutorial for the installation and
configuration of iptables. Iptables is a linux package for managing IPv4 (and optionally IPv6) packet filtering and NAT (Network Address Translation).
Iptables can be configured to function as a firewall, a NAT mechanism, a packet filter or all 3 at once. The diversity of capabilities possible with iptables
makes it a secure, stable and economical alterative to hardware based firewalls and routers or costly 3rd party firewall software. Iptables can also
serve as a rendundant firewall in conjunction with a hardware firewall, providing you with an extra layer of security. Iptablesrocks.org covers the
installation of iptables in a Redhat environment, the syntax and structure associated with iptables and a collection a pre-configured iptables
configurations for a variety of applications. This site is currently under development. Enjoy!
