Hi! Sorry for late reply! I've been rather busy lately :-(

Unfortunately this is not possible using this package.

I have been exploring some options in past, but there does not seem to be an easy OS-native way of doing this at the moment. Docker have taken the os.exec approach in their iptables package.

I'd prefer to do something which would use libnfnetlink , but unfortunately haven't had time to dedicate much effort to exploring it.

Another possibility could be Erik Hollensbe's dig at this issue in his iptables package which uses xtables library.

Closing this as I've answered the question above :-)
