While the advice you got on this old thread was mostly good, the most
obvious solution was not stated. Namely, make your default rule "accept" by
including that kernel option. Then you can reload rules all day long and
not have to worry, unless you need the ultra-paranoid protection that
having the default of "deny" gives you.
