Naive

[Planet X]

Yes, I am Netfilter naive! But, again, that is why I am here.

Yes, I dive into things. It is important that I "conquer" IPTABLEs useage
and syntax. I have read countless docs and its been a bit frustrating.
I think the docs are terse.

Thanks for the help, I made some modifications already according to
what you said.
