Short answer: In general, yes.
Longer answer:
The firmware for the Kindles is missing many of the iptable modules you would want to use.
For instance my using the "drop" target when the "reject" target would be much more appropriate (no time-out waits done by sender).
The "reject" target module is one that wasn't included with the Kindle builds.
Duh. . . . .
Thanks to Lab126, again.
I did build (nearly complete) sets of iptable modules for the common most Kindle kernels (at the time I built them).
There is a set of them attached to one of my threads somewhere here.
And more information about the process in a public repo.
(My Internet connection is semi-dead at the moment, I will add links once I can check them.)
