13 I'm beginning to long for the good ole days of ipchains. Is it still
14 maintained? iptables has been scattered all over hell's-half-acre, and
15 you need to run around enabling things all over the place to make it
16 work. Here are some things enabled in my setup via "make menuconfig".
17 Note that this is just for filtering out the bad guys. I do not do any
18 masq/nat/mangling/etc with iptables. *IMPORTANT NOTE* you *MUST* enable
19 the item... "IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)" in
20 order for state matching to work. I found this out "the hard way".
