That mainly depends on how the USB data connection to your iPhone shows up on
the Linux box. If the iPhone shows up as a network connection (i.e., it's a
peer and you have networking over USB) then you just need to make sure that data
on that connection still goes through IPtables. If the iPhone just shows up as
a mass storage device, you'll first have to figure out how to get it to show up
as a peer.
I'm interested in whether you can make this work since I will need a similar
capability (smart phone acting as Internet gateway) in the near future.
Cheers,
Dave
