How to convert iptables rules to eztables?

FatDog uses eztables as a "frontend" for iptables, which is supposed to be easy to configure (but not entirely clear to me... ;) )

https://github.com/louwrentius/eztables

The problem is once you have eztables started and running, FatDog will ignore generic iptables rules entered from the command line. So it looks like you have to make your configuration in eztables.cfg.

How would you translate the following rule into "eztables speak"?

iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.100.1 -j DROP

Thanks for your feedback!

Menu, System, Fatdog help (or help icon if its still on your desktop) and in the search box type eztables ... and the help section is detailed.

Something like
deny_out sourceIP dest_IP source_port dest_port
format, so perhaps ... (untested)

ROUTERIP=192.168.100.1
ROUTERPORT="
8080/udp
8080/tcp
"
deny_out any "$ROUTERIP" any "$ROUTERPORT"

That was spot on. :thumbup: The only router port that would have to be added in my case is 80/tcp. Thanks so much!
