  	---help---
  	  Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
  	  that pass through your Linux box.
  
  	  The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
  	  a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
  	  firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
  	  filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
  	  based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
  	  a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
  	  bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
  	  closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
  	  protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
  	  firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
  	  clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
  	  they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
  	  you say Y here.
  
  	  You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
  	  the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
  	  globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
  	  of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
  	  the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
  	  forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
  	  modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
  	  firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
  	  replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
  	  correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
  	  are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
  	  reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
  	  run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
  	  using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
  	  called NAT (Network Address Translation).
  
  	  Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
  	  the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
  	  box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
  	  typically a caching proxy server.
  
  	  Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
  	  a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
  	  the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
  	  protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
  	  configuration).
  
  	  Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
  	  masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
  	  proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
  	  <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
  	  these packages.
