# This is some iptables voodoo for setting up the Linux kernel's transparent
# proxying stuff.  If subnets is empty, we just delete our sshuttle chain;
# otherwise we delete it, then make it from scratch.
#
# We name the chain based on the transproxy port number so that it's possible
# to run multiple copies of sshuttle at the same time.  Of course, the
# multiple copies shouldn't have overlapping subnets, or only the most-
# recently-started one will win (because we use "-I OUTPUT 1" instead of
# "-A OUTPUT").
#
# This code is supposed to clean up after itself by deleting extra chains on
# exit.  In case that fails, it's not the end of the world; future runs will
# supercede it in the transproxy list, at least, so the leftover iptables
# chains are mostly harmless.
