On Ubuntu 22.04, I've set up the following iptables rules:
iptables -I OUTPUT -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j LOG --log-prefix "CHECK1 "
iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j LOG --log-prefix "CHECK2 "
Just to verify that I set things up correctly, I navigated to website.com (which is in the 192.168.0.0/16 subnet) in my browser and saw a CHECK1 message show up in /var/log/kern.log.
I then ran a C program which created a tun interface with an IP address of 172.30.0.1 and emitted a hand-crafted TCP-SYN packet from it. The packet had a source address of 172.30.0.1 and a destination address of 192.168.255.8 (the address of website.com). It showed up in Wireshark. However, there was no corresponding logging message in /var/log/kern.log.
What's happening to this packet?

192.168.10.10? Is that an address on your host, or elsewhere on the network?192.168.10.10. However, even runningnc 192.168.10.10 80produces logging messages.
