destination address to the local host's one. It comes in handy if one only wants
to alter the destination port of incoming traffic on different interfaces.
-Note that all nat statements require both prerouting and postrouting base chains
+When used in the inet family (available with kernel 5.2), the dnat and snat
+statements require the use of the ip and ip6 keyword in case an address is
+provided, see the examples below.

+Before kernel 4.18 nat statements require both prerouting and postrouting base chains
to be present since otherwise packets on the return path won't be seen by
netfilter and therefore no reverse translation will take place.
