Comment (by atagar):

 Hi teor, thanks for the updates! Just to make sure my understanding after
 reading the man page is correct...

 * The **accept** and **reject** rules can only be used with IPv4
 addresses.
 * The **accept/reject wildcard** (ex. **reject *:*** ) only apply to IPv4.
 * The **accept6** and **reject6** rules are still pretty nebulous. Do they
 accept specific addresses? If so do they use brackets? How about the *****
 wildcard, is it allowed? Or do we only accept ranges like **/6**?
