I believe the idea is that if you are terminating the tunnel on your
router, then this rule should replace your default MASQUERADE rule so
instead of
MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere
MASQUERADE !ipv6 -- anywhere anywhere
you should have just:-
MASQUERADE !ipv6 -- anywhere anywhere
This way the connection is not tracked unnecessarily.
