My server iptables is inherited from, I think, sarge, so it's probably
not done optimally today. It's an init script run from /etc/rcS.d.
My netbook was stretch until a few weeks ago, is now buster, therefore
is somewhat broken. It has iptables-persistent installed, which I
believe is all that is needed now.
Or you can muck about with systemd...
