Ok. Great. Then does this mean,

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $STATIC_IP --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP


that all connection except to port 21 of external ip are not allowed.

Also should default rule be kept first or last as I have done below?
Or does it not matter in my case?

Thanks a lot for the explanation and bye.

With warm regards,
