Hey.
hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.1.
ALL: 147.213.29.84hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
Shouldn't this deny everyone outside of my LAN except 147.213.29.84 access to listening daemons on this machine? Because i'm pretty everyone has access to them, not just the given IP(s).
The PC in question resides within a LAN behind a NAT.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

hosts.{allow,deny} ONLY applies to daemons that respect it. It is up to the daemon itself to check these files, it is not a replacement for a proper firewall (eg, iptables)

Thanks.
Just in case someone else is interested, the following is exactly what I'm looking for (allowing a dyndns host but noone else), done with iptables + ipopener:
