[OT] iptables q



Hi,

I have Firehol for iptables front-end and WordPress on Apache.

Access to WP is restricted to me only, like this:

interface ppp0 internet
        policy drop
        protection strong
        ...
        server http accept src 200.57.201.163

So far so good.

Now the question is: where do the messages in syslog come from, like these:

Jan 15 10:09:12 debian kernel: [42743.308176] ''IN-internet':'IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=202.97.238.233 DST=200.57.20 1.163 LEN=597 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=42 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=56368 DPT=1026 LEN=577

because that source does not exist:

hugo@debian:~$ host 202.97.238.233
202.97.238.233 does not exist, try again

Hugo
