iptables default forward policy reverts to allow topic






I have a working ubuntu firewall/dhcp server/gateway.

The only issue is that the default forward policy always reverts to ALLOW and i need it to stay on DROP.
I'm using iptables-persistent to load the rule set at bootup. The rule set in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 is correctly set to DROP for the FORWARD chain.

Is there anywhere else i can check for defaults that iptables-persistant might be looking at or should i rather use iptables-save and add a startup script for iptables-restore?

Thanks in advance
