hi,
i am learning iptables through the HOWTO. there is one
command i am not sure. can someone explain it to me
please?
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -j ACCEPT
from author 'this rule will allow all traffic from
our $LAN_IFACE to any other interface to flow
freely,in other word,in other words allow all traffic
from our LAN to the Internet'.
is there a default '-o eth+' in the above command that
is omitted ? should it better be
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -o $INET_IFACE -j
ACCEPT
INET_IFACE as (internet_interface)
