 Blacklists are also managed with `ipset`, see `/root/iptables`.

+### sysctl
+
+When first applying iptables rules, we experienced severe performance degradation. Dmesg was flooded with messages like this:
+
+```text
+nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
+```
+
+So we increased this sysctl setting:
+
+```shell title="/etc/sysctl.d/00-ustclug.conf"
+net.nf_conntrack_max = 262144
+```

 ### ustclug.org issue {#unregistered-domain-traffic}
 
-To mitigate the issue of the complaints from ISPs and the regulation authorities caused by the gateways in USTCnet responding to the requests for `ustclug.org`, which is a unregistered domain in China MIIT, we make nginx listen on an alternative port 81/444 for HTTP and HTTPS respectively, to response to the requests for `lug.ustc.edu.cn` only, and rejecting the handshake for any other domain.
