+A reject statement tries to send back an error packet in response to the matched
+packet and then interally issues a *drop* verdict.
+It’s thus a terminating statement with all consequences of the latter (see
+<<OVERALL EVALUATION OF THE RULESET>> respectively <<VERDICT STATEMENTS>>).
+This statement is only valid in base chains using the *prerouting*, *input*,
 *forward* or *output* hooks, and user-defined chains which are only called from
 those chains.
