iptc.ip4tc.IPTCError: can't initialize filter: b'Permission denied (you must be root)' #251

@leond08 you should run your script or application as root to be able to use iptables.

Why? I am running a firewalld inside a docker container that runs as a non-root user. If I give the container and this firewalld script the NET_ADMIN capability, why not run as user? The script imports iptc and applies rules. If I try to run directly iptables commands they execute successfully. Why not iptc?
