Can't Seem To Set-up Firewall.....

[never_stop_learning]

Running VL 5.9 Standard.

VASM >> Network >> Firewall >> New

I went with the defaults in 'Open'.

Start.

Enable.

And this is my iptables -L output:

vector:/~
root:# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Which tells me that I have not set the firewall up correctly??

Where did I go wrong?

Thank you.....

Different machine running VL 5.8 Standard.

I followed the same steps and get this output from iptables -L:

vector:/~
root:# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)

I am confused by the different results etween 5.8 and 5.9. The same steps seem to work in 5.8 but not in 5.9. I even tried VL Easytables in 5.9 but still got the same (ACCEPT everything) result. Should I have followed different steps to set-up the firewall in 5.9 Standard?
