With most firewalls, you have to open a port. They're normally all closed by default. I use pfSense here and previously used openSUSE for my firewall. I have to specifically enable any port I want to use.
James,
I assume you saw that no software firewall in the vulnerable server can block these sockets. You have to block the packets before they get to the server.
Now if you're using a standalone non-vulnerable openSUSE box as your firewall, that's fine for protecting systems behind it. It just can't protect itself..

My firewall is pfSense on an old computer. I used to use openSUSE, but I couldn't get it to work with DHCPv6-PD. I'll have to see if the HP computer that pfSense is running on has that "feature".
My firewall computer has an AMD Athlon CPU, so it's safe. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
