Hello, I may find out the answer by myself, but may be useful to someone else... I have an embedded router that runs openwrt. I'd like to be able to read the firewall rules from iptables, you can see all rules from iptables -nvL How I can identify the rules for port forwarding or dmz? in particolar, I need to know the range of ports that are in port forwarding, or if all ports have been forwarded to dmz on the lan. I know this is wrong, but this is what I do: DMZ for all ports: iptables -nvL zone_dmz_forward | grep -e '*' | grep -v 'dpts:' | awk '{ print $9 }' | grep -v '0.0.0.0' port ranges: iptables -nvL | grep -e 'tcp dpts' | awk -F ':' '{ print $3":"$2 }' | sed 's/ //g' iptables -nvL | grep -e 'tcp spts' | awk -F ':' '{ print $5":"$4 }' | sed 's/ //g' single port: iptables -nvL | grep 'tcp dpt:' | grep -e '*' -e 'ppp' | cut -d ':' -f 2 Thanks in advance -- 'The Magic Is In the Movement' ___ {~._.~} _( Y )_ (:_~*~_:) (_)---(_) (_Marco_)---(_Savo_) ___ ___ \-_-/SW Engineer\-_-/
