Hello everyone, i am new to the forums and to the world of linux.
I've been trying to learn iptables, and came up with the following rules, and i am wondering if they seem okay, is there anything out of place/not needed, and would appreciate some insights.
I am using NAT to share the internet between my windows pc in house.
The code is right here:
Code:

I am not sure if the line "-A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "Firewall: " " is correct or not or if its needed (logging works fine but i think its due to my FIREWALL chain)
Also how would i be able to log to a certain file instead of messages.log
I looked around and found that this would be enable logging to a certain file, but it doesnt seem to work. (I am using ArchLinux btw)

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
need some help with iptables
