My RaptorNT 6.5 firewall rejects all connections from my linux box when ECN is enabled. The error is attached. Perhaps this feature should be disabled by default? Or is there already an option of the sort that i'm missing? I only got the idea to disable it after a search of linux-kernel.

Plz cc me, I"m not on the list.

Later!

I suggest you file a bugreport against RaptorNT, which evidently is malfunctioning by detecting legit TCP-flags as something illegal.

The're is variable in /proc somewhere. Teh firewall should be fixed, what Linux is doing is legal to the RFC. Cisco fixed most of their products that misbehaved. Complain to the guys who moade RaptorNT :)

Your raptorNT 6.5 firewall is faulty, its as simple as that. Check if they have an upgrade to fix their error.

It's a faulty firewall. Have you checked for updates?

ECN is NOT a "bad flags combination", RaptorNT is a bad firewall. Upgrade or replace with something RFC compliant.
