Forgive me for asking this naive question:
I've enable ip-pkt-filtering on incoming traffic from internet.
My question: how secure is this scheme? could someone fake an trusted ip addr and gain access to my site?
I know if you have a duplicate ip addr on LAN, you'll get a dup ip messages,
both hosts will freeze-up. Is that true on internet?
