Re: opening connection for Tomcat

["Alexis" <alexis@tpys.com.ar>]

oh, i thought you mean all addresses with 0.0.0.0 (as an example) and not
you was setting the rule with explicilt 0.0.0.0

doing this, you are saying 0.0.0.0/32 , this means only this IP address. For
match all ip addresses, leave the modif (-d) without set or use 0.0.0.0/0
