 Description   

the example iptable rules 'iptables -A ...' will just add the rule to the end of the list.
the problem is, that some default iptable rules contain a 'DROP all' at the end, so the added rules will not take action, because they will be added after the drop all.

please add an info to the example rules, to use 'iptables -I ...' to solve that problem.

This might save some time and confusion for beginners
