Thanks, I added a page to the firewall configuration section: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/iptables-log-forwarded-packets and then I looked at other pages in the firewall section. Many, if not most, are very old and no longer a good way to set up the firewall. I started adding a warning to those pages I KNOW are inaccurate but that became tedious - especially considering some of the pages are still valid but there is a better/less-difficult mechanism. One repeated issue I see is the openwrt firewall3 (fw3) user-space executable has replaced the need for still-referenced but un-supported executables used to generate iptable chains/rules (fwBuilder, Essence, Shorewall). Many of the iptable shell scripts are suspicious, confusing, or specific to a device configuration - and appear to be from the freifunk effort. There are several references to ebtables and nftables - one appears to be deprecated and one not integrated. All the netfilter kernel modules and openwrt packages are concisely documented for the 2.6.32 kernel. So there is a good amount of work to clean up the firewall section - which is central to the purpose of openwrt. I'm willing to clean it up but not through-the-web. I would use emacs to edit multiple markup pages quickly. Maybe it's better to leave this section alone for historical purposes and with a deprecation warning like the old wiki.openwrt.org pages?
