NAME

       firehol-iptables - include custom iptables commands

SYNOPSIS

       iptables argument...

       ip6tables argument...

DESCRIPTION

       The  iptables  and  ip6tables  helper  commands  pass  all  of their arguments to the real
       iptables(8) or ip6tables(8) at the appropriate point during run-time.

              Note

              When used in an interface or router, the result will not have a direct relationship
              to the enclosing definition as the parameters passed are only those you supply.

       You  should  not use /sbin/iptables or /sbin/ip6tables directly in a FireHOL configuration
       as they will run before FireHOL activates its firewall.  This means that the commands  are
       applied  to  the  previously running firewall, not the new firewall, and will be lost when
       the new firewall is activated.

       The iptables and ip6tables helpers are provided to allow you to hook in commands safely.
