In a previous post I have talked about introduction and basic usage with iptables. I did some more research on the subject and I found out more information about it which I would like to share with you.

Iptables is a powerful and versatile firewall tool that is used to protect and secure networks. It is an open-source program that is installed on Linux-based operating systems. Iptables works by inspecting and filtering network traffic based on a set of rules. These rules define what traffic is allowed and what is blocked, based on criteria such as the source and destination IP address, port number, and protocol.
