you may consider to use nftables. The package is not installed by default.

Sorry to tell you , it is a stupid answer. He tells you he can't run
iptables

That's not what he said. There's also no reason to characterise other
poster's responses as "stupid".

and you suggest to ask iptables to list the rules it uses! Now what
(who?) is Mason is perhaps the first question to ask.

It's clearly "what", not "who", given that the original post included
the output of "sudo mason". A tiny amount of research would go a long

I have been using iptables since 2004 (at least). It is difficult at first but http://netfilter.org
/documentation you should do it. I am not very good and I did!

I suppose that using Mason is an option you can use, but it hasn't been
updated since 2012[0]. The version you're using is from 2008, that's 8
years ago! Given that the 'latest' version is from 2012, I'm not sure
whether this is a good program to start with. It even mentions ipchains,
which was deprecated around kernel version 2.4 (see this message on this
list from 1999[3]).

As recommended earlier, Shorewall or ufw should be good options to start
with. Both are still[1] maintained and updated regularly[2].

If you want to start with 'raw' IPtables, have a look at this Arch Linux
wiki page[4], which extensively explains how to build a stateful firewall
using IPtables.

Take care :)
