Title: Help! SuSE 10.0 firewall problems.
Post by: Sword7 on November 25, 2005, 08:30:11 PM

Hello folks,

Finally. I successfully installed aMule 2.03 for OpenSuSE 10.0.  With my following instructions from your aMule site for set up firewall settings, I tried to enter some iptables commands but they did not work.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4665 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT

That did not work with SuSE's firewall and firewall log showed that packets still are being dropped.  I still got low ID from one of eMule servers.  When I disabled firewall, all problems disappeared and I was able get a high ID.  Does anyone successfully set up firewall settings for OpenSuSE 10.0?

That's why I want to set up firewall to protect my connections from being attacked.

Thanks!
Sword7

Try to do it with YaST...

YaST -> Security and Users -> Firewall -> Allowed Services -> Advanced

TCP Ports: 4662
UDP Ports: 4665 4772 (separated with a space)

OK -> Next -> Accept

That should do it.

Yeah.  I tried that and it finally worked so well!

Thanks for replies.
