IP Cop outbound port blocking

[cyferijo]

Can anyone tell me how to block a defined outbound port on an IP Cop firewall, without resorting to add-on applications?

Is it possible to do this?

Any help will be appreciated..

I dont think it possible to block ports without adding a application but you can well shape the traffic of certain ports. Or if your a linux guru you can log in using ssh and change the routing tables to block a certain port.

Spoke to some people and what you have to do is log into ipcop with putty using ssh and type

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

where eth0 is your green and eth1 your red and 80 the port

Thanks Kloon, I will give this a try. Pity that port blocking isn't built into the ipcop web gui..

Nothing wrong with the IPcop addons - actually what sets it apart from Smoothwall.

The aptly named "BlockOutTraffic" found under utilities does the trick .
