Log connections to port

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW -j LOG

Block an IP's

iptables -I INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DROP
iptables -I OUTPUT -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DROP

# Subnet
iptables -I INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 -j DROP

Load Balancing

Every 3rd new packet to different web server

iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW -m nth --counter 0 --every 3 --packet 0 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.101:443
iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW -m nth --counter 0 --every 3 --packet 1 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.102:443
iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW -m nth --counter 0 --every 3 --packet 2 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.103:443

Port Forwarding

The following example routes all traffic that comes to the port 442 to 22.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.102.37 --dport 422 -j DNAT --to 192.168.102.37:22

NAT

eth1 is connected to external network (internet), and eth0 is connected to internal network (For example: 192.168.1.x).

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT

Block everything except ssh
