ii  iptables                   1.3.8.0debian1-1ubuntu2    administration tools for packet filtering and NAT

Config files

• /etc/default/iptables

Well, I thought that would be all that I needed, but after a reboot my firewall is a mess. I need to keep ufw from stomping on my configuration, so I need to integrate with ufw instead of trying to just port my old iptables rules.

I'm following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html

I updated

• /etc/default/ufw
• /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf
• /etc/ufw/before.rules
