Unfortunately there is no real usable C++/C API available to query/modify the iptables configuration. + +So i'm not shure if this will acutually work in the end. + +The iptables/netfilter team says that currently the only way to communicate with iptables is using a pipe to the iptables-save +command which is acctuall not a real soulution for such an application but they know this issue and therefore i hope that an C++ compatible API will be available in the future to make this really work. |
