The igmp-proxy page did not document which firewall hooks multicast traffic traverses, and had no coverage of the operational commands. This adds, in reference form:

  • A firewall considerations section: the proxy joins the groups itself, so streams and IGMP signaling traverse the input hook, not only forward. Stated as hook-level requirements, not a sample ruleset.
  • Sample output and counter interpretation for show ip multicast interface under the Operation opcmd.
  • A show log igmp-proxy opcmd documenting two common harmless log messages.
  • Two sentences under alt-subnet noting ISP IPTV sources reside on remote private subnets and can change without notice.

Verified against a production VyOS Stream 2026.03 IPTV deployment.
