That would be correct, since every forwarded packet passes though both the<br>pre-routing and post-routing chains, so you are counting every packet (at<br>least those that are not dropped in the FORWARD chain) twice.</blockquote>
<div><br>I don&#39;t fully understand how is that possible that my rules count packet twice, could you explain it more briefly?<br><br>I specified -i eth0 in PREROUTING and -o eth0 in POSTROUTING. Isn&#39;t this correct way to count packets only once? ...and I&#39;m getting values only from chain &#39;stat&#39;, which is called only from PREROUTING and POSTROUTING with specified network interface respectively to direction (-i/-o eth0).
<br>So in my opinion a packet traveling through the router to my network passes only once through &#39;stats&#39; as it is accepted only in PREROUTING with -i eth0, and not in POSTROUTING with -o eth0, as it goes out from eth1. Am I correct?
