In case there are other just like me who didnt know about "action continue":

The verdict statement alters control flow in the ruleset and issues policy decisions for packets. The valid verdict statements are:

- accept: Accept the packet and stop the remain rules evaluation.

- drop: Drop the packet and stop the remain rules evaluation.

- queue: Queue the packet to userspace and stop the remain rules evaluation.

- continue: Continue the ruleset evaluation with the next rule.

- return: Return from the current chain and continue at the next rule of the last chain. In a base chain it is equivalent to accept

- jump <chain>: Continue at the first rule of <chain>. It will continue at the next rule after a return statement is issued

- goto <chain>: Similar to jump, but after the new chain the evaluation will continue at the last chain instead of the one containing the goto statement
