[PATCH 3/6] firewall: Enable SYNPROXY for untracked packets

[Michael Tremer <michael.tremer@ipfire.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1232 bytes --]

This enables some DoS protection using SYNPROXY which will complete a
SYN handshake with the client before the connection is being forwarded.
