  • Catch 22.

    From Ignatius@1:340/800 to All on Monday, June 12, 2017 16:45:28
    Ok, for obvious reasons Catch 22 is back on port 24.
    These unsolicited connections are pissing me off. I wish there was some way
    to block them.

    Thanks,

    There is. Newer BBS software have ip blockers. And if you don't want to use newer BBS software, you run linux, so iptables would do the trick.

    I've tried iptables, with little to no success. Any way you could give me an example on how to use it?

    Thanks,

    Iptables in that case is very good.
