NAME
       sanewall-iptables - include custom iptables commands


SYNOPSIS
       iptables argument...


DESCRIPTION
       The iptables helper command passes all of its arguments to the real iptables(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 directly in a Sanewall configuration as it will run
       before Sanewall activates its firewall. This means they it be applied to the running
       firewall, not the new firewall, so will be removed when the new firewall is activated.

       The iptables helper is provided to allow you to hook in commands safely.
