Re: [FW-1] Last Rule

Should my last rule be ANY-ANY-REJECT or ANY-ANY-DROP?

Hi,
the "classic" Clean-Up rule is to DROP and to LOG. Drop is useful
because in case of an attack the sender doesn't get an answer from the
Firewall. So he can't make out if the systems is up or even turned on.
Ok, I know, in this case I'm an optimist ;-)
Logging should be turned on, so you see the traffic beeing dropped.
Otherwise, you could rely on the "implicit Drop-rule" which is the very
last rule and always turned on, but without logging.
Hope it helps,
best regards,
Matthias
