# iptables

Here is my script that I use to update iptables with data. 

The different files are listed in lists and are hopefully somewhat self explanatory

Anything with .list end in the zone folder will be added to the block list. This was initially used to block countries, but you can use it to block anything. 

Add ```update.sh``` in your cron

Load iptables and ipset rules however you please on start up

This is done by the following. Some of my servers have it in ```/etc/rc.local``` others have it in ```/etc/network/interface``` as post-up script

```iptables-restore < /path/to/iptables.save```

```ipset restore < /path/to/ipset.save```

There may be a better way to do this, but this works for me on some servers.
