If you really want to kill a connection on a newer kernel Ubuntu, there is a ss
command. For example, to kill connection toward 192.168.1.1
with dynamic remote port 40000
you can use the following:
Terminalss -K dst 192.168.1.1 dport = 40000
Nice, quick, and it definitelly beats messing with routes and waiting for a timeout. This is assuming your kernel was compiled with CONFIG_INET_DIAG_DESTROY
(true on Ubuntu).
To get a quick list of established connections for given port, one can use netstat
with a quick'n'dirty grep:
Terminalnetstat -nap | grep ESTABLISHED | grep <port>
This is really simple and quick.
