hi
everybody now will come big platform
I think rule
$IPT -I OUTPUT -j $SPAMLIST
is incorrect. Because in this case $ipblock is destination (-d), not source (-s)
How can I remove ip’s from blocked
Dear Reader.
you can remove IP from block by this short command
#iptables -D input -s 172.20.7.12 IP ADDRESS -j DROP
172.20.7.12 is an example you can remove any IP that you want just type instate
