I am form the Microsoft and OpenBSD world and have recently begun using RH7.3 for my firewall.

 

I need to block an Internet Address.

 

In OpenBSD I would use -> 'block out quick on ethx ...'

 

I have theses two rules in my iptables file:

 

$IPT -t filter -A INPUT  -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 64.246.26.185  --dport 80 -m limit --limit 2/minute -j $STOP
$IPT -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 64.246.26.185 -d 0/0  --dport 80 -m limit --limit 2/minute -j $STOP

 

$STOP and $IPT are macro substitutions that works for everything else,
so I know that's not the problem.

 

What am I missing?
