            add or remove iptables rule to DROP (default) packets from

        * specify action ('add' or 'remove')
          when removing, pass in the same argument as you would add. It will
          delete that specific rule.
        * specify the ip to block
        * specify the destination port to block (defaults to all ports)
        * optional packet type to block (default tcp)
        * optional iptables rule (default DROP)
        * optional direction to block (default 'INPUT')
        * States boolean toggles adding all supported tcp states to the
          firewall rule
