firewall:iptables:interface:block:name
Block incoming traffic from specific network interface.
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i ${interface_name} -j DROP
try on your machine
This command adds a new rule to the iptables firewall configuration for dropping incoming traffic from the specified network interface. Specifically, the -A option adds the rule to the end of the INPUT chain, and the -i option specifies the interface to apply the rule to. The -j option specifies the action to take when the rule matches, which in this case is to DROP or discard the incoming traffic. The Interface name should be replaced with the actual interface name in the system where the command is being executed. The sudo at the beginning of the command is used to run the command with administrative privileges.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
