This make them hard to firewall properly because connection tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output of "ip address show" should look similar to this: $ ip -4 address show eth0 4: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 inet 172.16.2.252/24 brd 172.16.2.255 scope global eth0 To compile it as a module, choose M here.

If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT box, you may want to enable this feature. Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.

Netfilter mark matching allows you to match packets based on the "nfmark" value in the packet. The target allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter the netfilter mark (nfmark) field associated with the packet. Prior to routing, the nfmark can influence the routing method (see "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key") and can also be used by other subsystems to change their behavior. config NETFILTER_XT_CONNMARK tristate 'ctmark target and match support' depends on NF_CONNTRACK depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED select NF_CONNTRACK_MARK ---help--- This option adds the "CONNMARK" target and "connmark" match.

You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in a packet that lacks a checksum.

To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CLASSIFY tristate '"CLASSIFY" target support' depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds a `CLASSIFY' target, which enables the user to set the priority of a packet.

The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive. It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing. To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support' depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED ---help--- This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4) targets, which enable the user to change the hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header. While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since you can easily create immortal packets that loop forever on the network. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HMARK tristate '"HMARK" target support' depends on (IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n) depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED ---help--- This option adds the "HMARK" target.

To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER tristate "IDLETIMER target support" depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target.

If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED tristate '"LED" target support' depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in response to particular packets passing through your machine. This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED, which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time somebody connects to your machine via SSH. You will need support for the "led" class to make this work. To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system: echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds//trigger For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LOG tristate "LOG target support" default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n help This option adds a `LOG' target, which allows you to create rules in any iptables table which records the packet header to the syslog.

If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT tristate "REDIRECT target support" depends on NF_NAT ---help--- REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is useful for transparent proxies. To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TEE tristate '"TEE" - packet cloning to alternate destination' depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED depends on (IPV6 || IPV6=n) depends on !NF_CONNTRACK || NF_CONNTRACK ---help--- This option adds a "TEE" target with which a packet can be cloned and this clone be rerouted to another nexthop. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TPROXY tristate '"TPROXY" target transparent proxying support' depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED depends on IP_NF_MANGLE select NF_DEFRAG_IPV4 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES help This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT. For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up see Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt. To compile it as a module, choose M here.

This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this problem are that everything works fine from your Linux firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large packets: 1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received. 2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang. 3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking. Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall configuration like: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu To compile it as a module, choose M here.
