I have iptables set up to block all outgoing traffic that tries escape outside my VPN connection. and netfilter-persistent to make iptables rules persistent. this all works perfectly.



Now because connecting IPs change from time to time, I want to make a script that looks up IPs and updates iptables whitelist rules on an hourly basis.



Two related questions on this..



  1. Whenever the script reloads the netfilter-persistent service to update iptables, is there a split second where traffic could escape outside VPN? or are new rules overwritten without a full flush first?

  2. and how about during a system reboot? do the network interfaces come up before netfilter-persistent kicks in or is there a possibility for non-VPN traffic to escape during boot-up?

I feel it's only logical in both cases it should be safe from 'leakage' , but couldn't find anything confirming this.

          1. Netfilter-persistent scripts use iptables-restore tool, that makes atomic reloading of an iptables rule set.

          2. Netfilter-persistent scripts during a boot are run before interfaces will be bringing up (you can check output of systemctl cat netfilter-persistent.service).
