Re: FWBuddy: manage your iptables firewall

Jasper - I really don't know what exactly is causing this problem - I'm starting to suspect some difference in your iptables; but honestly I'm not sure. However - we might be able to work around this issue with this small change. In the script FWBuddy.sh line 215 change the current line: From: <acti...

Re: FWBuddy: manage your iptables firewall

Comment out all lines except line 21
change line 21 to iptables -L
run again and show me the output

Also, in a terminal, type "which iptables" and show the output

Re: FWBuddy: manage your iptables firewall

ok - this is quite frustrating, and I want to find the answer. Looks like we will have to do it the hard way and find out which particular line in the script is causing the problem. In the FWB-Livestats.sh can you comment out lines 12 to 19 (inclusive) and also 23 to 36 (inclusive), so that the only...

Hi All,
When I use the menu option Setup > QuickSetup and then tick the box "Run Internet apps as spot" I cannot see any apps to actually select. Is this how it is meant to be? In F95 I was given a list of apps to select. What am I doing wrong?
