iptables should run as root

[FossPrime]

youll get an obscure error about being unable to initialize the nat table if you dont use root.

? The instructions are suggesting adding that line to /etc/rc.local and rebooting. When you boot /etc/rc.local is always run by the root user, so there shouldn't be any need to add sudo?

@JamesH65 Perhaps the instructions need clarifying a bit?

[JamesH65]

Clarify as in the ensure its clear that this is a file edit rather than entered on the command line?

Pretty sure you shouldn't need sudo in rc.local.

strange... I recall just typing on tty. okay.
