8 I've never used the LXC scripts to set up a container, but I actually
9 run a firewall inside a container. You just need to run it in a
10 separate network namespace so that it is messing with its own
11 interface.

13 In general, though, I wouldn't want my containers messing with my host

21 I'd never put a container there. I can't speak to how the lxc scripts
22 are intended to be used - I don't use those tools to manage
23 containers. I typically stick my containers in their own place in
24 btrfs subvolumes for easy management.
