It might be better to use their system than craft raw rules yourself if posssible.
What's this -I OUTPUT 4? Why not just append rules at the same time as the firewall's being made instead of inserting later?
Well it goes DSL modem---Wireless router/LAN (static route from 192.0.3.0 to 192.0.0.0)
There is NAT at the modem and the router has some ports forwarded. There is no other hardware/software firewall.
Wireless router tells 192.0.3.0 how to get to 192.0.0.0. All I want to do is put some restrictions on the traffic that goes over that static route.
Dont I need to use -I OUTPUT for traffic leaving the router? Maybe I'm confused ... The WAN port on router is connected to dsl modem. The LAN ports on the router go to the switch to the 192.0.0.0 gateway device...
