[virt-tools-list] iptables rules created by libvirt

[Ratliff, John]

I want to use NAT forwarding to forward some ports on my kvm host to my
guests. There is a rule that libvirt is creating that rejects this traffic,
and it gets recreated every time the network is updated.

 

-A FORWARD -o virbr0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

 

My FORWARD policy is set to DROP, so I'd like to just remove this rule, but
I don't understand where it's coming from.

 

I'm using kvm/qemu/libvirt on a RedHat 7.5 host.

 

It's not clear to me whether anything is using any of the nwfilter rules. I
haven't added any, and I don't see any referenced in any of my domain xml
dumps or the network xml dump.

 

Can I get libvirt to stop adding this rule, or even any firewall rules and
I'll do it myself?

 

Thanks.
