There are several ways of getting '''help and support''' for Netfilter products.

= Community =

Netfilter is a FLOSS community. Among other things this means that community support
is offered in a ''best effort'' approach.

You may direct your help/support request to several support channels, which include:

* The users mailing list: [mailto:netfilter@vger.kernel.org netfilter@vger.kernel.org]
* Our documentation (i.e., this wiki, manpages and other resources)
* IRC: #netfilter in freenode
* External support tools and forums like stackoverflow, distribution specific channels, and so on

Community support is usually not fully real-time, but the amount of knowledge that it contains is huge :-)

= Enterprise =
