some network setups. this is the workaround a user suggested that
we should add in the wiki.

----
+NOTE: In some masquerade setups with firewall enabled, conntrack zones might be
+needed for outgoing connections. Otherwise the firewall could block outgoing
+connections since they will prefer the `POSTROUTING` of the VM bridge (and not
+`MASQUERADE`).
+
+Adding these lines in the `/etc/network/interfaces` can fix this problem:
+
+----
+post-up iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i fwbr+ -j CT --zone 1
+post-down iptables -t raw -D PREROUTING -i fwbr+ -j CT --zone 1
