Overview
iptables is a Linux command line tool used to query and manipulate the network packet filtering rules maintained by the Linux kernel. Network packet filtering in the kernel is implemented by the netfilter framework. The term "iptables" is also used to refer to the iptables service, which is a systemd service that uses the iptables tool to configure the packet filtering rules at boot. netfilter and iptables are used to implement network firewalls and NAT. The relationships between these concepts is explained in iptables Concepts: netfilter, iptables tool, iptables service and firewalld.
