844 tristate '"CONNSECMARK" target support'
845 depends on NF_CONNTRACK && NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK
846 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
848 The CONNSECMARK target copies security markings from packets
849 to connections, and restores security markings from connections
850 to packets (if the packets are not already marked). This would
851 normally be used in conjunction with the SECMARK target.
853 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

862 connection tracking parameters like events to be delivered and
863 the helper to be used.
865 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
867 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_DSCP
868 tristate '"DSCP" and "TOS" target support'
869 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
870 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
872 This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
873 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
875 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
877 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
878 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
879 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
881 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
883 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
884 tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support'
885 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
886 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
888 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
889 targets, which enable the user to change the
890 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
892 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
893 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
894 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
895 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
896 forever on the network.

900 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
901 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
903 This option adds the "HMARK" target.
905 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
906 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
907 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method and can also be used
908 by other subsystems to change their behaviour.

912 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
913 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
914 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
917 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
918 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
919 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
920 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
922 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

925 tristate '"LED" target support'
926 depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS
927 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
929 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
930 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
932 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
933 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
934 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
935 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
937 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
939 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
940 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
942 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
943 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
945 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
946 Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst

1025 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT
1026 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
1028 select NF_NAT_REDIRECT
1030 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
1031 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
1032 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
1033 useful for transparent proxies.
1035 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1037 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MASQUERADE
1038 tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
1040 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1041 select NF_NAT_MASQUERADE
1043 Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
1044 changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
1045 if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
1046 only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
1047 address will be different on next dialup).
1049 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

1072 select NF_TPROXY_IPV4
1073 select NF_TPROXY_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1075 This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to
1076 REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
1077 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
1078 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
1079 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
1080 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up

1548 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP
1549 tristate '"sctp" protocol match support'
1550 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1553 With this option enabled, you will be able to use the
1554 `sctp' match in order to match on SCTP source/destination ports
1555 and SCTP chunk types.

1611 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
1612 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1613 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1615 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1616 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1617 for that connection.
1619 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1621 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1622 tristate '"time" match support'
1623 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1625 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1626 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1627 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1629 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for

1635 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1636 tristate '"u32" match support'
1637 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1639 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1640 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1641 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1642 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1643 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
