> they use raw sockets! Raw sockets are different than normal sockets: they bypass iptables

But this bugreport says raw sockets would be filtered by the OUTPUT chain of iptables: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269914#c4

Is that accurate across distros? It does make sense for some socket types, like device sockets, to not be routed through iptables.
