 CB>> it's a lot easier to just block everything and let stuff you want in through.
 CB>> it also means that the iptables rules are smaller and use less memory.
 CB>> what i have is block everything on the pfsense box, but the bbs box does it the opposite way around.
 CB>> little bit of a kludge, but im too lazy to change it LOL

 Bu> LOL I know what you mean.. I have my Router blocking 7 countries currently, and now my BBS is blocking another 3. I wanted
 Bu> to keep South Korea open at least for my Commodore and Amiga boards, because I have a user from South Korea who I have been

you could just get him to setup a dyndns domain, and have iptables look at that domain and let that through while blocking everything else :D

 Bu> friends with since the 90's when he lived in San Diego! I think though blocking everything then letting things is is the way
 Bu> to go.. Once my kid comes over on Sunday, I will hit him up for the ins and outs on pfSense, as he just did a couple of
 Bu> articles on it and I believe he is in the process of doing a video for his YouTube channel on pfSense.. Once I get the scoop
 Bu> from him I will make it happen..

it's pretty straight forward ... unless you have complicated setup like mine lol
