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.
