Blacklist not updating (v1.667) [look in ipset list instead of iptables]

edited April 14 in Problems Now Fixed

I tried to add a local blacklist entry, but it only runs

ip_blacklist SET network_ip_blacklist_clear

Even after restarting kiwid, there is no active iptables entry.

  • Using an individual iptables entry for each blacklist entry (global or local) has been replaced by using a single "ipset" list. This is because ipset lists are faster to maintain. And as a result prevents the long delay in connecting as admin right after a server restart (due to config file locking interference).

    So when you list the iptable entries (perhaps via the shell ipt alias) you will now only see the single entry match-set ipset-kiwi src in the KIWI chain. The ipset list command (alias ips) now shows each individual blacklist entry.

  • I should have known that. It's really much faster. Thank you.
