Re: simple question

[Askar <askarali@gmail.com>]

you mean if I have rules like

iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT 

Then putting ESTABLISHED,RELATED thing will helps?
however why should I put ACCEPT rules in FORWARD when the default
policy for it is already to accept everything.

thanks and regards
