ACCEPT all in INPUT chain

reason2012 over 13 years ago

Greetings!

I'm using an older version of ASG Essential Firewall (7.500) as a backup to our regular firewall. I'm doing some testing currently, and I connected to the ASG box and ran iptables --list -n to look at the iptables chains from the shell. I noticed that the very first rule in the INPUT chain is the following.

ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

Doesn't this rule's existence mean that anything will be allowed? Looking through my rules in the web interface for ASG Essential, I do not see this rule.

Thanks for any input!

I think I figured things out. The INPUT chain is for traffic destined for the ASG box itself. I should have been looking at the FORWARD chain.
