Yes, after the network is up but before the daemons you want to protect would 
be ideal.

Also if your system isn't configured to go to single user mode if the firewall 
script fails (AFAIK no-one does this) then a problem with the firewall script 
(such as an unexpected DNS problem in this instance) would break it.

With the increasing use of https and cloud servers some types of firewalling 
are becoming less useful.
