What's "ok" in your opinion?

Well, it looks fine. 3 rules loaded although I am missing a little bit
of detail here. Do an iptables -vnL FORWARD.

Source 0/0 is ok. If you want to prevent IP-Spoofing you can use
192.168.10.0/24

Yes the third rule will block this traffic, but ...
Since some detail is missing I cannot determine what the first rule
does. Is this just loopback traffic (lo)?. If the first rule does not
specify an interface it will allow all traffic.
If it does specify the lo interface you are still missing a rule
allowing NEW connections, like
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
