Does anyone have a user guide for iptables ? I have looked but can't fine one.
If not can anyone give a clear description of which of the basic chains INPUT / FORWARD / OUTPUT are invoked by which packets and in what order ?.
All responses appreciated.
I should have looked for netfilter - I think I found what I need.
To help other people that search for iptables: Netfilter - iptables - firewall - masquerading
The discussion might have continued from here.
