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.
