[lxc-users] lxc-security: iptables audit with nflog not working with default settings (insecure)

Hello list,

Has someone managed to get reliable network traffic auditing with LXC up and
running? That means, that it is possible to write a protocol of e.g. every
new connection from and to host.

On my setup (Ubuntu Trusty), both host and guest may have different iptables
rulesets. But the guest NFLOG messages are lost completely, those from host
are sometimes sent to the ulogd in the guest (time-race), so the host log is
not trustworthy also.

What could be the best solution to get trustworthy logs with LXC?

Kind regards,
Roma
