we just had this discussion. Look for the subject: iptables/firestarter here is what I took to be the ANSWER: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/615 has more information about this topic. Personally, I do this: Ensure that you have your firewall rules set up as you wish them. Then, edit /etc/network/interfaces to add the following: # Bring up firewall pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules # And save fw state on shutdown post-down iptables-save -c > /etc/iptables.rules However, people seem to be saying that this may have drawbacks, as if you add a bad rule or otherwise negatively alter your ruleset, it would get automatically saved. Since I make all edits to my iptables rules in a shell script that I source when I want to change them, I'm not too worried about that, but you can see several alternate solutions from the link above.
