“This tutorial will explain how to install aditional modules for
the kernel to use with iptables rules sets (netfilter modules).
Xtables-addons is the successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). Likewise, it
contains extensions that were not, or are not yet, accepted in the
main kernel/iptables packages. Xtables-addons is different from
patch-o-matic in that you do not have to patch or recompile the
kernel.”
