Description

Got this comment in a recent HN thread:

+1 to using RethinkDB! I'm also using RethinkDB in production, and I love it! The only issue is that you have to set up persistent filters via iptables in addition to having an authKey. They do have a guide[0] for that, however they do not provide any instructions for ensuring that the filters on iptables stay up, or how to restore them if they are temporarily wiped out :/

Research direction

Start with the linked RethinkDB security guide and the issue's request about iptables filters. Expand the documentation with instructions for keeping filters persistent and restoring them after they are wiped; done means both scenarios are covered clearly.
