This has the advantage over Shorewall in that Shorewall will only keep existing connections open when new rules are applied. In thisĬase, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout If the new ruleset cut the existingĬonnection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. Iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the Iptables-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by ![]() In other words if you aren’t a perfect admin (who is right!) and manage to accidentally lock yourself out by putting an iptables rule in wrong, iptables-apply will automatically revert back to the previous set of rules and you’ll get access again.Ĭould’ve saved me literally some diesel over the past few years that one!
