[vps-mail] Packet filter

[Godwin Stewart <gstewart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Does the virtual environment in which the VPS2 runs have any impact on the
FreeBSD packet filter?

There are plenty of bozos out there with trojanned machines trying to gain
root access to my VPS2s via SSH and LARTing them doesn't seem to have much
(any?) effect. The only way to put an end to this is to firewall the cretins
out.

I'm fairly fluent with the concept of Linux iptables, so I'm not exactly a
beginner in that respect. What I need to do is look at the specifics of pf
and I should be home and dry. However, if the virtual environment of the
VPS2 doesn't allow me to do this then there's no point in me reading up
on anything.
