I just had to reply to this one. FINALLY somebody explained how the heck iptables works and what it does in a way that makes sense to ME. The best part is that there is a INPUT chain and a OUTPUT chain then you connect them together with iptables. THAT I could understand. Why can't they put stuff like this in the man page so that nuts like me can understand it? Thanks much for that link.

OK.  I just had to reply to this one.  FINALLY somebody explained how the heck iptables works and what it does in a way that makes sense to ME.  The best part is that there is a INPUT chain and a OUTPUT chain then you connect them together with iptables.  THAT I could understand.  Why can't they put stuff like this in the man page so that nuts like me can understand it?

Thanks much for that link.
