[Firehol-support] Link Balancer - no routing

Seems like I must be doing some wrong with the masquerading. I can see
with tcpdump that if I send either icmp or https packets, that the
packets are making it out the wan interface, but no responses are coming
back. E.g.:

# tcpdump -i enp1s0
icmp                                                                                                                
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol
decode

On the other hand, if I send the requests from inside the router itself,
replies come back immediately.
