I was playing with the iptables setup in order to open the ssh port to outside world and could not get out, how to make sure that the firewall web-gui does not interfere with my settings.
Have any local guru touched this issue? Would there be a hint for non-guru? Thanks.
So far it seems to me that the configuration is stored to /tmp/filter_rules and then passed to iptables.
After that I am able to change the rules through standard iptables commands eg. iptables -I INPUT 7 -p tcp -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
It seems that adding this to rc.local helps to have the port opened after reboot, but once there is a change over GUI it seems to get lost.
