/* This module enables a simple firewall.
The firewall can be customised in arbitrary ways by setting
networking.firewall.extraCommands. For modularity, the firewall
uses several chains:
- nixos-fw-input is the main chain for input packet processing.
- nixos-fw-log-refuse and nixos-fw-refuse are called for
refused packets. (The former jumps to the latter after logging
the packet.) If you want additional logging, or want to accept
certain packets anyway, you can insert rules at the start of
these chain.
- nixos-fw-accept is called for accepted packets. If you want
additional logging, or want to reject certain packets anyway, you
can insert rules at the start of this chain.
