| + | This component works with the path ''/software/components/iptables''. After a fist look at the component, it seems that not many changes are needed. | ||
| + | The first one would be in the variable that contains the definition of the different iptables options. I haven't done any change yet, so what you see at ''-s'' (source) and ''-d'' (destiny) is for IPv4 addresses, but I guess also that can be improved, because if I'm not wrong, that also allows the address ''999.999.999.999''. Anyway, I need to find the right regular expression, so that it also allows '''IPv6''' addresses: | ||
