https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291163 Bug ID: 291163 Summary: feature request: blacklist-helper support for route --blackhole Product: Base System Version: 15.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dave@daveg.ca I noticed blacklistd recently. I like it. Simpler than other packages, yet highly useful. One omission though. blacklist-helper should support the packet "filter" being route --blackhole as-in route add --blackhole 1.2.3.4/32 127.0.0.1 or route add --blackhole 2001:123::1/128 ::1 Why? Well because anyone running a routing protocol (say OSPF) will gain the added benefit that the blackhole route is distributed among all the other routing protocol speakers. I realize that this is imperfect protection --- but on a big network of machines, it makes a lot of sense. And I'm only asking for the option. If someone would like, I could probably come up with a patch... but I don't want to put in the work unless it's welcome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
