I can not load my saved iptables rules when the server reboots on Arch Linux. Any ideas? The latest Arch updates are in place.I have followed Arch Linux's tutorial... neither either works. The following do work via the prompt as root user: 1. iptables-save & restore /usr/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/iptables.rules2. rc.drc.d start iptables  I have even attempted to run below as a cron on root with no joy:@reboot /usr/bin/bash /usr/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/iptables.rules > /home/me/boot-iptables.logSurely I am missing something... everyone must be doing this*?*By 'this' I mean wanting privileged port 80 going to 8080. I am going the wrong route for the simplest, cleanest way to do so? Everything was so good till now PacMan.
Can't save / load iptables rules on Arch Linux via rc.d
iptables;arch linux
The problem is that the tutorial you followed is written with systemd in mind.As you are still using the old init system you have to add iptables to the DAEMONS array in your rc.conf.Please be aware that the next update to the iptables package my drop the /etc/rc.d/iptables script.The old init has been deprecated for some time and is being purged from the wiki and the packages. Do yourself a favor and take the time for a clean migration.
