Firewall module Rules same as Iptable-Rules!

[Tareq85]

am just wondering if the RULES that we can insert into the Firewall module are the SAME IPTABLE RULES that we can see in the prompt-command via this command " iptables -L " ??

thanx in advance,

[WildBoy]

i think they are different

[Tareq85]

how come they are different ? i think both of em use Iptables Rules Or wut ?
explain much more plz :)

[WildBoy]

cause you cann't list the rules of the module firewall in the prompt

I'm somewhat confused by this as well I was under the impression that the firewall was IPTables but it appears it might not be. That would explain why we have a separate packet filter vs the firewall module.. the packet filter I know is IPTables but the firewall might just be something else.

[Tareq85]

so how can we get a pure answer fellas ?

In 5.1 / 5.2
- I believe Packet filter rules are in IPTables
- Firewall rules are in the UVM database.

Let me double check this but I believe that is the case.

guys i got the right answer.
the Firewall module of the Untangle uses Iptables for sure and guess wut it builds its own chain which is called "alpaca-firewall" and you can check it out and modify its rules there in the comand-prompt just type ( iptables -L aplaca-firewall ) and it will show you all its default rules :)
