850 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
851 select NETFILTER_XT_CONNMARK
853 This is a backwards-compat option for the user's convenience
854 (e.g. when running oldconfig). It selects
855 CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_CONNMARK (combined connmark/CONNMARK module).
857 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CONNSECMARK
858 tristate '"CONNSECMARK" target support'
859 depends on NF_CONNTRACK && NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK
860 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
862 The CONNSECMARK target copies security markings from packets
863 to connections, and restores security markings from connections
864 to packets (if the packets are not already marked). This would
865 normally be used in conjunction with the SECMARK target.
867 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

873 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
875 This options adds a `CT' target, which allows to specify initial
876 connection tracking parameters like events to be delivered and
877 the helper to be used.
879 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
881 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_DSCP
882 tristate '"DSCP" and "TOS" target support'
883 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE || NFT_COMPAT
884 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
886 This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
887 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
889 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
891 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
892 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
893 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
895 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
897 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
898 tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support'
899 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE || NFT_COMPAT
900 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
902 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
903 targets, which enable the user to change the
904 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
906 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
907 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
908 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
909 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
910 forever on the network.
912 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HMARK
913 tristate '"HMARK" target support'
914 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
915 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
917 This option adds the "HMARK" target.
919 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
920 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
921 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method and can also be used
922 by other subsystems to change their behaviour.
924 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
926 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
927 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
928 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
931 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
932 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
933 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
934 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
936 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
938 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
939 tristate '"LED" target support'
940 depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS
941 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
943 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
944 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
946 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
947 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
948 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
949 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
951 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
953 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
954 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
956 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
957 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
959 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
960 Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst

1039 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT
1040 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
1042 select NF_NAT_REDIRECT
1044 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
1045 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
1046 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
1047 useful for transparent proxies.
1049 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1051 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MASQUERADE
1052 tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
1054 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1055 select NF_NAT_MASQUERADE
1057 Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
1058 changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
1059 if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
1060 only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
1061 address will be different on next dialup).
1063 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

1086 select NF_TPROXY_IPV4
1087 select NF_TPROXY_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1089 This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to
1090 REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
1091 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
1092 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
1093 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
1094 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up

1194 This option allows you to build work-load-sharing clusters of
1195 network servers/stateful firewalls without having a dedicated
1196 load-balancing router/server/switch. Basically, this match returns
1197 true when the packet must be handled by this cluster node. Thus,
1198 all nodes see all packets and this match decides which node handles
1199 what packets. The work-load sharing algorithm is based on source

1626 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1627 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1629 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1630 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1631 for that connection.
1633 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1635 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1636 tristate '"time" match support'
1637 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1639 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1640 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1641 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1643 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for

1649 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1650 tristate '"u32" match support'
1651 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1653 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1654 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1655 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1656 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1657 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
