'''There are some important point to note regarding iptables from the above diagram:'''
:*There are '''<u>two sets</u> of IPtables rules (chains) that apply: ''' '''OUTPUT/INPUT on the client''' and '''INPUT/OUTPUT on the server'''.<br>It is important to think about from the perspective from the client as well as the server.
:* '''Outbound traffic''' from a server (like a response to the Firefox web-browser from the web-server) '''is rarely blocked <u>unless</u> there is a security policy to <u>prevent</u> some kind of traffic'''. Even in that case, that security policy is usually performed on a router (this is a topic which will be discussed later in this course).
