As I wrote before I don't know these things enough, but it's probably
not exactly like using iptables; I guess it's after POSTROUTING if
used at egress or before PREROUTING if at ingress, and you could easily
check this in case of ingress: it should be visible by all iptables
hooks on it's way. So it's probably mostly useful on ingress, like in
doc examples. In case of egress if it's not redirected anywhere, as
I mentionned before, you could detect it e.g. with fw filter called
after ipt, but I'm not sure it's very useful here.
