Iptables for gameports

[swordman]

Hello,

I want to ask if someone have a nice iptable to filter the gameports (7172,7171).

A friend of me tried this iptable rules:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7172 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7172 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --hitcount 10 -j DROP

and

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7171 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7171 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --hitcount 10 -j DROP

but, he told me that alot of people had problems while logging in such as; Connection timeout and the character list is loading to long.
If anyone has a nice iptable rule which will help a bit organizing the packets that gets sended to the gameports without making any problems
as I said above, would be very good and im sure another people are also interresed in this iptable rule.

Someone told me this one could be ok to:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp tcp --dport 7172 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -m recent --set -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7172  -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 3 --hitcount 20 -j DROP

Any comments for this one?
