I googled and found this. it... seems.. weird to put it here:

Create a file /etc/network/if-up.d/firewall.sh , make sure it is executable.
In that file put all the iptables rules you want and since it is bash
scripting you can get pretty fancy. Then in /etc/network/interfaces add the
following line to one of the interface definitions, 'up
/etc/network/if-up.d/firewall.sh'. That is all you need.
