iptables kernel module not service. cannot "stop" it.

man iptables info on how control it.

sudo iptables -f flush current rules (which disables it)

sudo iptables -a ...options... how add rules

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iptableshowto

see iptables-save , iptables-restore saving/restoring cfgs.

don't think ubuntu iptables differently other distros. in recollection of using on centos/redhat same.

if want avoid low-level iptables commands 1 of higher level iptables "managers" ufw / gufw easier.
