I use portsentry to cut down on the incredibly high number of attacks on my network. I have a home network using DSL via SWBell to get to the Internet, and portsentry blocks sometimes dozens a day of IP addresses for hosts attacking the network. This part is great.
But portsentry also enters a network block requiring that I hand delete the route after boot: | Code: | | route del -net $1.0.0.0 gw 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 |
($1 is the first quad of my home IP, e.g. if my home IP were 12.13.154.22 then network 12.0.0.0 gets blocked.
How do I convince portsentry to stop doing this? Is portsentry innocent and something else is going wrong? |

Look in your portsentry config for
Dropping Routes: section, and modify the killing sections, I have mine set to IPTABLES not route.
