It is unfortunate that iptables does not have a simple builtin option that does this, as I'm too impatient to type out this loop every time I need to see what's really going on. I'm for sure too impatient to type out 5 parallel commands. The -S option does not give the same useful formatting as -L and no option can be combined with -vL to request the rules from all tables. I may just have to add this to my shell init.

for table in filter nat mangle raw security ; do printf "\n===== %s =====\n" $table ; sudo iptables -vL -t $table ; done
