The netfilter core team

The netfilter core team is the group of people who actively maintains the netfilter framework. Please note, that this group is very small (currently six people), and with an estimated number of millions of linux installations, we cannot help individual users with their firewall configuration. Regard this contact address as a last resort, if all other options have failed.

When to contact the core team?

  • If you found an important security-relevant bug and want to inform the vendor before releasing any information about it.
  • If you need professional support, development or consulting related to netfilter and iptables.
  • Again, the coreteam will _NOT_ respond to any simple usage/configuration questions. Such kind of questions will be ignored. PLEASE refer to the user mailinglist

You can contact the coreteam via email:coreteam@netfilter.org (GPG key)

The netfilter/iptables webmaster

The netfilter webmaster is a volunteer who offers to maintain the netfilter homepage's content. Please report any website-related comments like broken links, typos, suggestions to webmaster@netfilter.org.
