Making iptables persistent
I have a custom iptables setting (currently running 6.4.1 but I've never got this working). I'd like the system to apply it on restart so I installed iptables-persistent, but no matter how I set up the dependencies I always end up with the same netgear settings for iptables. I think somehow this is happening thorugh connman so I made iptables-persistent start after that and still no joy. journalctl says it runs:
Dec 03 14:49:10 warehouse6 iptables-persistent[2865]: Loading iptables rules... IPv4... skipping IPv6 (no rules to load)...done.
Any clue how to get this to work. Or where I can run a command after connman is fully initialized?
thanks
steve

Why are you wanting to do this?
I use knockd for external ssh access but to do this I need to block port 22 by default with iptables. It works fine and keeps my log from filling with spurious intruders, but I need to remember to apply the default tables when I reboot. I don't reboot that often so I usually forget.
