Hello Tim, hello Michael,
The second addon handles the setting up and updating of IP Address Blocklists in the firewall. It includes options to select which lists to use, and some control over how frequently to check for updates.
I guess Peter might be quite excited about this :)
I _am_ excited about this indeed. Especially the "Emerging FW" combined list sounds very interesting. Dropping bogon traffic is also a good idea, as it prevents some hijacked BGP allocation stuff.
I personally do not have much use for this, but again, why should this not become part of IPFire?
@Michael: Why do you have no use for this? Speaking about the mentioned Emerging FW list, enabling it as a default sounds reasonable to me. Networks listed there usually are so bad one even does not want to route or peer to it (DROP = Don't route or peer). :-)
Could we enable the bogon list as a default for dial-up interfaces in IPFire 3.x ?
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
